An unidentified man was reportedly electrocuted while attempting to steal copper wire from a PECO electric box in Northeast Philadelphia last night.

A report from 6-ABC Action News said the incident happened next to a building that used to be a KFC near Grant Avenue & Roosevelt Boulevard at around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday night.

The suspect was critically burned when he cut a high voltage line. The shock reportedly caused an explosion that knocked the power out for nearly 1500 homes and business in the surrounding area. The suspect/victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was last reported to be in critical condition.

PECO said power was restored to the powerless business and homes in under an hour.
