A man has been injured and 30 residents evacuated after an explosion in a Bondi Junction unit block this morning, NSW Police say.
Emergency services were called to Old South Head Road about 4.35am tomorrow, and found a 35-year-old man with burns to his arms, face and legs.
He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to St Vincent’s Hospital. His condition is described as serious.
Thirty residents were evacuated from the building.
The cause of the explosion is yet to be confirmed; however, police from Eastern Suburbs Local Area Command have been told the man may have been using a gas heater in his unit.
Structural engineers will examine the building before investigators can enter and begin to examine the scene.
Traffic diversions were in place earlier in the morning, with one lane still affected.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
