MIDTOWN — A man called NBCUniversal warning that there was a bomb inside Rockefeller Center, the NYPD said.

The anonymous caller dialed an NBC call center in New Jersey that takes calls designated for the network's studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza around 4:35 p.m. on Oct. 17 police said.

“There is a f---ing bomb in your building,” the unidentified caller said before hanging up, according to police.

Security at 30 Rock conducted a search of the building with bomb-detecting dogs, but didn’t find anything, the NYPD said.

No one had been arrested in connection with the incident as of Monday.

Representatives for NBCUniversal did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
