After an alert New York police officer spotted the glimmering ring Friday under a sewer grate near 8th Avenue and 48th Street, he called in the department's emergency services unit and the fire department, police say. They were able to fish it out and have since returned it to the grateful couple.
It's the second time in recent weeks that an engagement ring was recovered from a New York sewer. On November 30, a British bride-to-be watched in horror as her ring fell through a Times Square sewer grate. After the couple returned to England, they were flown back to the U.S. in December and presented with the ring on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
