A social media user has shared how a group of bystanders helped to resolve an embarrassing moment for a Jeep owner.<\/p>\n
Filmed in New York City, the video shows the owner of a Jeep Wrangler 4×4 which features one wheel that is stuck down an open manhole.<\/p>\n
Whilst it is unclear how the driver initially made his way into the manhole; they were seen getting out of the stranded car as residents of the city looked in awe.<\/p>\n
Advising the owner to put the car into four-wheel-drive, a group of eight people decided the best option was to push the Jeep out of the hole.<\/p>\n
Eventually, with a heave and a burst of acceleration from the driver, the car was freed from the manhole cover to rounds of applause from onlookers.<\/p>\n

Now that the Jeep is out, let\u2019s keep it moving.\u201d<\/p>\n Another joked: \u201cI hope this never happens to me, I\u2019m so afraid of driving over these things, even with the lids on.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/stuck-jeep-4960168.jpg?r=1695059105333\")
