Late this morning, this minivan was pulling over by St. Stanislaus on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue... when the front right tire went over the manhole cover ... which apparently was not secure, and it flipped up, trapping the tire inside... (
thanks to Drew for the pics!)
No word on how long it took to free the van.

That is crazy - once in a lifetime event
Two officers from the NYPD who appeared to be walking a beat along with a couple of passers by helped free the car. Took about 15 minutes. I don't know about others but I have seen cops on foot periodically in the hood.
There was a bright orange cone right next to that manhole to warn drivers/pedestrians but guy just drove into it. Manhole was partially out already but guy wanted to get a parking spot
... what happens when you're busy on your cell phone and you disregard the orange caution cone.
