NYPD investigating after surveillance video captures group entering sewers through manholes
Police in New York City are investigating after several people were caught on surveillance video this week going into the sewer via a manhole and emerging hours later.
“Earlier today, authorities conducted a thorough investigation following reports of unauthorized individuals inside the sewer system on McDonald Avenue,” the NYPD said on social media. “The NYPD and other agencies have completed their sweep, confirming the area is safe and free of hazards.”
The people were seen entering the manhole around 11 p.m. on Thursday in the Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn and reemerging around 2 a.m. on Friday, according to PIX 11-TV.
Another group was seen going into a manhole on another street and coming out around the same hours, the station reported, citing police.

The police don’t yet know who the sewer explorers were or what they were up to.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection also did its own inspection, telling Fox News Digital: “DEP has inspected the sewer infrastructure at this location and found no damage to the system.”
The spokesperson warned, “Entering the sewer system is both illegal and extremely dangerous. Sewers can contain numerous hazards, including noxious and potentially deadly gases, unstable surfaces, flooding risks, and confined spaces. For these reasons, members of the public should never enter a pipe, drain, catch basin, manhole, or outfall.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to the NYPD for comment.
The Oklahoma City Thunder took on the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night to decide the Western Conference title, after a back-and-forth series that has seen both teams leading at various points.
But Game 7 was closely contested, with the Spurs outlasting the defending champion Thunder to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals and set up a rematch with the New York Knicks from the league’s 1999 championship series. San Antonio won that title in five games.
The Thunder-Spurs Game 7 marked the 160th winner-take-all game in NBA history and the fifth this season.

Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 22 points and seven rebounds in the 111-103 victory. Two-time reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-high 35 points for Oklahoma City.
The Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals to reach the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years.
In late April, New York trailed Atlanta 2-1 after back-to-back one-point losses in Games 2 and 3 of their first-round series. The Knicks are 11-0 in playoff games since, winning almost all those games by blowout.
No matter who wins this Finals series, it’ll be the eighth different franchise to win a title in the last eight seasons — extending the longest such stretch in NBA history.
Toronto won in 2019, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, then Milwaukee in 2021, Golden State in 2022, Denver in 2023, Boston in 2024, Oklahoma City last year, and now either New York or San Antonio will be added to that list.
No defending champion has even made a repeat trip to the NBA Finals since Golden State won in 2018 and returned in 2019.
Entering Saturday, the Spurs had not reached the NBA Finals since winning the 2014 championship, defeating the Miami Heat in five games.
Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals is scheduled to tip off Wednesday in San Antonio.
