MIDTOWN — Two window washers were rescued from Park Avenue's JP Morgan Chase Tower after malfunctioning equipment left them stranded Friday.

The workers' electronic scaffolding stopped working around 8:04 a.m. when the electrical connection gave out as they were washing the 10th floor of 270 Park Ave., the FDNY said.

Rescue workers were able to reach the men on the scaffolding by manually pulling them up to the roof.
