Body discovered in rubble after Queens blast that injured officers

Police said officers were responding to a domestic violence call just before 3 a.m. Thursday.

A family member reported that a 50-year-old man, identified as Anrup Parsaram, had arrived at the home intoxicated and armed with a knife. Authorities said there was also a smell of gas inside the residence.

Surveillance video showed Parsaram carrying two garbage bags containing canisters into the home, where his estranged wife, daughter and grandchildren lived, according to police.

He allegedly forced his way inside, and while his daughter and grandchildren were able to escape, he confronted his estranged wife and threatened her with a knife. She was able to flee before the explosion, officials said.
