The Aporia · WATCH: New manhole mystery in Upper West Side of Manhattan

On October 11, 2026, three individuals were observed entering a sewer system through a manhole on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, continuing a string of mysterious events involving manholes in New York City.

Story summary

In early October 2026, police responded to a report around 1 a.m. of three men climbing into a manhole on West 141st Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side. At least one of the men was later seen exiting and getting into a silver car before fleeing. This incident follows several other sightings, including an event last September where three individuals were spotted entering a Brooklyn sewer at Bay Ridge Parkway and 17th Avenue but escaped before police could arrive. In addition, earlier in October, two men named Kevin Rodriguez and Samuel Reveron were arrested for trespassing under an Upper East Side hotel during the UN General Assembly visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. City officials speculate that these underground intruders might be scavenging for valuables like coins or scrap metal lost in sewers.
