Pedestrian reports that the unnamed man — the victim of “one of the smallest, most outrageously specific sinkholes” — was crossing at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Walworth Street in Brooklyn when he stepped into it. It took a crew of FDNY firefighters to get him free.

Incident reports say the unnamed man was hospitalized for “minor leg trauma.” No word on whether the victim suffers any lingering fear of the ground swallowing his leg.
