Police observed three unidentified men climbing out of a manhole in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn on September 25, 2026. The observation follows the earlier arrest of two unidentified men after a comparable manhole incident in Midtown.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection and the New York Police Department are investigating both events as part of a recent series of manhole‑related incidents that have drawn the attention of city officials and law‑enforcement agencies.
