A distraught neighbor said she’s “never seen anything like this” in her 30 years living there.

“I went to visit my husband in Long Island in the hospital and came back home and now I can’t get to my house,” 60-year-old Rosie told The Post, who described the situation as “overwhelming.”

“We all know each other on this block and we say hi,” she added.

Police have blocked off the street and the scene remains active.
