A woman fell through a hole in a Manhattan sidewalk Friday — just days after a man was found dead in a nearby manhole, police said.

Construction crews had been working on a portion of the street when she walked by and fell into the hole at around 2:45 p.m., according to police. It wasn’t immediately clear if there was a cover over it.
The woman was rushed Bellevue Hospital in non-life-threatening condition, police said.
The incident comes three days after workers found the badly decomposed body of an apparent drunk who stumbled into a manhole — and was gnawed by rats — in Columbus Circle.
