At least three recent incidents have been caught on surveillance video showing people emerging from New York City sewer manholes at night, leaving police puzzled about what the group, reminiscent of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-like figures, is doing underground.
Several people were caught on camera climbing out of a Brooklyn sewer manhole around 11 p.m. on May 28, then fleeing in waiting vehicles, prompting an NYPD investigation into the bizarre incident, a spokesperson for the force told The Independent. Some group members emerged from a manhole around 2 a.m. on McDonald Avenue in the Gravesend neighborhood, as seen in surveillance footage obtained by The Flatbush Scoop. The video shows a person removing the manhole cover before several more climbed out of the sewer system one by one.
