A skateboarder says she's scarred for life after falling on a red hot manhole cover in Manhattan, just blocks from where a woman was fatally electrocuted earlier this year.

Liz Wallenberg, 26, says she fell while skating at 13th Street and Second Avenue on Saturday. She landed on a manhole cover that was piping hot.

But it wasn't until she walked up the block and met her friends at a nightclub that she realized how badly she was burned, with an imprint of the manhole cover on her lower back.

"I didn't really fall that hard on my back, so it was weird to me that it was hurting,” she said. “So I got up really quickly, and I was like ÎOw,’ because it just felt weird, like a stinging. And then I noticed that I was completely branded.”

Wallenberg went to Beth Israel Medical Center, where doctors gave her painkillers and a special ointment and told her she'll be at least partially scarred for life.

"It's really uncomfortable, and it hurts,” she said. “I can't sit. I have to sit all day at my job, and it hurts to sit. I can't lay in my bed right.”

Just a few blocks away, in January, East Village resident Jodie Lane was killed when she tried to rescue her dogs from an electrified metal cover on East 11th Street. Melting snow had corroded the insulation of some wires.

A subsequent inspection found more than 400 locations with stray voltage, all of which were fixed, according to Con Ed. The utility also changed its policy to require annual voltage checks of its 250,000 manholes and service boxes around the city.

“Obviously, they missed a few things and need to check on these things regularly to make sure nobody else will get hurt,” Wallenburg said.

A Con Ed spokesperson says that the manhole that burned Wallenburg has been fixed but that the cause is still under investigation.

Wallenberg says she is considering legal action. “I have tattoos, and it's something that I wanted, and that's fine,” she said. “But you know, I didn't want Con Edison branded onto my back.”
