Over a Dozen People Emerge From Manholes in Brooklyn: NYPD

Police said seven people entered a Gravesend sewer and eight others entered another in Williamsburg, with no arrests and no damage found.

  • On Friday, the NYPD launched an urgent investigation after video captured seven individuals emerging from a sewer manhole on McDonald Avenue in Gravesend, Brooklyn, around 2 a.m.
  • A similar event occurred in Williamsburg around 1 a.m. Friday, where eight unidentified individuals entered a sewer system near Heyward Street and Bedford Avenue before exiting around 3:40 a.m. and fleeing in a vehicle.
  • Surveillance footage showed the Gravesend group wearing waders and gloves, using flashlights to navigate underground before exiting near parked cars to change clothes and load equipment into vehicles.
  • The NYC Department of Environmental Protection inspected the Gravesend sewer infrastructure and found no damage, while the 62nd Precinct declared the area "safe and free of hazards."
  • Investigators have ruled out terrorism but continue searching for the individuals, who could face burglary charges if apprehended for entering the illegal and dangerous sewer system.
