<p>BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thai authorities rushed to contain a massive sinkhole near a hospital in central Bangkok that disrupted utilities and traffic, officials said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The 50-metre deep (164 feet) sinkhole extended about 900 square metres in front of the Vajira Hospital, halting traffic.</p>

<p>Footage on social media showed the road slowly sinking as water poured out from a drainage pipe, dragging down electricity poles. The hospital announced that it would not take on patients during the incident.</p>

<p>"Dirt from an underground train construction was sliding in," Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters. "Luckily there are no deaths or injuries."</p>

<p>Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said a pipe had burst so water and power lines have also been cut.</p>

<p>"The hospital has no problems, but we are worried about the police station: that's still dangerous and the public has been evacuated," he said.</p>

<p>By noon, authorities said they had halted further ground movement and were monitoring the site closely.</p>
