A shady trio was spotted emerging from a manhole just steps from the hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to stay during the United Nations General Assembly, cops and sources said.
The three unidentified men were spotted around 4:35 a.m. climbing out of the underground pit on Park Avenue near East 61st Street on the Upper East Side, authorities said.
They fled in two vehicles that headed north on Park Avenue, police said.
Netanyahu and other dignitaries are expected to stay at the Loews Regency New York down the block, sources said.
It was not immediately clear whether the sewer incident is linked to his stay, though the NYPD said they have assigned units to watch the area.
“We have seen a number of incidents over the past few months of individuals going into the sewer system to look for valuables and other scrap metal after a storm,” the NYPD said in a statement. “This incident fits that same criteria, but out of an abundance of caution given the U.N. General Assembly and the sensitivity of the location, the NYPD is conducting additional security sweeps with our federal partners.”
The bizarre incident is one of many involving mysterious sewer spelunkers in recent months.
Just last week, an unidentified nightcrawler was spotted stepping out of a manhole at Juniper Boulevard South and 74th Street in Middle Village just after 4 a.m. Sept. 14, prompting an observer to call 911, according to police.

NYC doesn’t care if terrorists blow the city up from the sewers, apparently.
Sounds like a safe place to visit.
How many things are being planted underground?
“The bizarre incident is one of many involving mysterious sewer spelunkers in recent months.” I crawled through sewer pipes when I was a kid. Mom always warned me about sewer gas.
A great Superman episode.
Normally man hole covers are tack welded in place. Not to necessarily restrict access, but to protect the public from sewer methane gas ignition. They happen quite often and that 50 pound cover becomes a flat cannon ball.
The makeup and wig are especially good on the first guy
“…to look for valuables and other scrap metal after a storm,”
What BS! Made up BS because they won’t tell us the truth. Yeah, big pieces of scrap metal just happen to get washed into the storm sewer during rainstorms. Right! How stupid do they think we are?
That was the last of our expeditions in the storm sewers.
Kinch, Newkirk, and Hogan?
Mossad planting sensors?
Wait, so C.H.U.D. are real?
Larry, Curly and Mo is what I immediately envisioned as well!

As soon as a muzzi is in charge of nyc, there’s issues with underground tunnels.
“Alleged manhole”
I read the photo captions.
Ah yes, the unknown people from Superman. Brings back memories.
