BROOKLYN, NY — A startling moment was caught on camera in Bushwick as a manhole cover suddenly exploded, sending flames and debris shooting into the air.

Citizen-shot video shows the exact moment of the blast, which rattled the street and alarmed nearby pedestrians. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but officials suspect it may be linked to an underground electrical issue or gas buildup — both common culprits in past manhole incidents across New York City.

No injuries have been reported so far, but the explosion has renewed concerns about the aging underground infrastructure running beneath Brooklyn’s streets.

Emergency crews quickly responded to the scene and are assessing any potential damage or hazards.
