The man paced around near the manhole.
Then he opened the cover to the manhole.
The man entered the manhole and pulled the cover back on.
Residents called 911 many times. They also called the 68th Precinct directly twice and they tweeted the NYPD to try and get help.
The first call was at 8:42 pm on Friday evening (as soon as the man entered the manhole). Yet, the 68th Precinct police did not respond until 12:45 am on Saturday.
The 68th Precinct officers did not open or even investigate around the manhole. Why didn’t they call another department or someone to investigate for the community?
At 2:07 am, the man came out of the manhole – 5 hours after he had gone done the manhole. ** Amazing Brooklynites ** kept their eyes on this manhole for hours because they knew something was wrong and the police did not investigate or provide any answers.
Dyker Heights is a neighborhood with families and people are concerned about safety. People look out for each other. Thank you to the Dyker Heights residents who kept an eye on the manhole, contacted the police many times and then shared what was going on their street.
This community also loves and respects the NYPD, but they need more help and accountability from the NYPD.
This is not the first time men have gone down a manhole. What is going on? Who are they trying to rob?
Will this come back and jump in the manhole when no one is watching? This community needs an investigation.
