Boy, 15, struck by lightning in Manhattan's Central Park

NEW YORK — A teenager out for a walk was struck by lightning in a freak occurrence in Central Park, police said on Thursday afternoon. The 15-year-old boy was strolling through the famed park when a thunderstorm suddenly broke out, with lighting striking him around 3:45 p.m. on the park's East Drive near E. 100th St. according to police. He was standing under a tree when lighting struck it, and the electric current jumped from the tree to a metal chain he was wearing around his neck, according to a police source. 'We found him sitting on the path right there,' a police officer told a Daily News reporter. 'He was still conscious. He's lucky to be alive.' EMS transported the boy to Weill Cornell Medical Center with a neck injury, police said. He is in serious but stable condition, according to cops. The odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are less than one in a million, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
