"We put a plan together, we used a catch noose to subdue its wings from flapping and its claws, at that point, Sgt. Amello put a cloth over its head and we grabbed it, walked it up the steps, and brought it onboard safely until we met the DEC,"
"No matter who or what it is, we will do our best to get it some help,"
An American bald eagle became stranded on floating ice in the Hudson River and was bleeding from a wing. Four NYPD Marina/Harbor officers located the bird while surveying the ice and used a looped pole and a catch noose to control its wings and claws. Officers covered the bird's head with a cloth, carried it up steps, and brought it aboard a vessel until handoff to the DEC. Body-worn cameras captured the bird's squeals and the rescue. The eagle was taken to a New Jersey sanctuary for treatment and is expected to recover.
