A 4-year-old boy died after falling inside a closed Bronx bank earlier today, police said.

Emmanuel Corniel Delgado was playing on a table inside an Apple Bank on E. 161st Street. just across the street from Yankee Stadium when it collapsed, sending him to the floor.

The boy landed on his head and was fatally injured about 7:45 p.m. — almost four hours after the branch closes to the public, sources said.

He was rushed to Lincoln Hospital, where he later died.

It was not immediately clear why the child was inside the bank or who was supervising him when he fell.
