Despite the flashing lights and blaring siren, a 34-year-old man was hit by a fire truck Saturday in Manhattan, officials said.

The accident occurred at about 8:15 p.m. while the man was crossing the street against a "don't walk" signal at the intersection of East 15th Street and Irving Place, police said.

The man, whose identity wasn't disclosed by police, sustained a leg injury and was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center.
