A four-story building in Manhattan's Chinatown became a pile of rubble Friday afternoon after a four-alarm fire tore through it the previous night.

Flames broke out shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday in the building at East Broadway and Pike Street.

The New York City Fire Department says the fire spread through a grocery store on the ground floor and into the apartments above.

Firemen were able to get the flames under control around 2 a.m.

Seven firefighters had minor injuries and residents were hurt.

As of late Friday, investigators were still looking into the cause of the fire.
