Ice-hole teens in selfie fail

-

When will they learn?! Two more kids plunged through the ice at The Pond in Central Park on Sunday night while trying to snap a selfie, officials said.

The boys, ages 15 and 13, were taking the shot while standing on the last vestiges of winter ice on the lake at around 7 p.m., according to police.

Unlike last month — when several teens taking a group selfie on The Pond were saved in a dramatic rescue — the two boys were able to swim ashore and walk away from the scene, multiple witnesses told the NYPD.

Authoritie­s later caught up with them around the park’s West 60th Street exit near Sixth Avenue. They had no visible signs of injuries, but were taken to a hospital for observatio­n, according to officials.

At least seven teenage boys were involved in the selfie incident last month. They had to be rescued by good Samaritans and f irefighter­s.
