The mole men are back.
Cops responded to a report of three men climbing into a Manhattan manhole early Sunday morning in the latest sighting of mysterious intruders in the Big Apple underground, police said.
Police were dispatched to West 141st Street between Hamilton Place and Amsterdam Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. following a 911 call reporting that the trio was spotted climbing into the sewer, cops said.
Eyewitnesses said at least one of the men was later seen climbing out and hopping into a silver-colored vehicle and taking off to parts unknown, with the incident under investigation, an NYPD rep said.
Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 1:30 a.m. and described the report as “unfounded.”
However, the report comes after numerous accounts — and creepy surveillance video footage — showing unidentified trespassers climbing in and out of the city’s sewer system in recent months.
On Friday, five of the mole men emerged from an Upper East Side manhole on 82nd Street and took off in a truck, according to police and sources.
Last month, two men, Kevin Rodriguez and Samuel Reveron, were busted after roaming through the underground beneath an Upper East Side hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stayed while in town for the UN General Assembly.
This summer, another trio of mole men wearing overalls and headlamps crawled out of the ground a block away from Madison Square Garden at 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.
Another sighting came in September last year, when three people were spotted climbing out of a Brooklyn manhole at Bay Ridge Parkway and 17th Avenue in Bensonhurst around 4:30 a.m., with all of them taking off before police were able to respond to a 911 call.
City officials speculate that the underground trespassers could be scavenging for valuables like coins, wallets, scrap metal or jewelry that were lost and ended up in the sewers.
