From Grok: describe the appearance of the Three people seen climbing out of a sewer near Park Avenue and East 61st Street Wednesday morning before heading north
Limited public descriptions from NYPD and news reports (based on surveillance video and witnesses): three unidentified individuals, described in some accounts as a black-clad trio of men.
They were seen emerging from a manhole near 535 Park Avenue at East 61st Street around 4:30–4:35 a.m. on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, then getting into two vehicles and driving north on Park Avenue. No detailed physical descriptions (such as height, build, hair, age, or facial features) have been widely released, and there have been no arrests reported.
The most specific clothing and vehicle details from reporting on the surveillance footage are:
One person (described as a white man) in a black hoodie, driving a silver sedan.
Another person in a black shirt and gray shorts, driving a four-door vehicle.
Some reports note the group as black-clad overall. Police have linked similar recent manhole/sewer incidents in NYC to people (sometimes described as urban explorers or scrap/treasure seekers) looking for valuables or metal after storms; this case prompted extra security sweeps due to its location near UN General Assembly activity and dignitary hotels, but authorities have said there was no indication of a threat.
Descriptions remain sparse because the individuals left quickly and have not been publicly identified. Officials have warned that entering sewers is illegal and dangerous due to gases, flooding, and other hazards.
