On Saturday morning, a good Samaritan jumped into the Hudson River to rescue a man who had dove into the water. However, the rescuer soon needed saving himself. Emergency responders swiftly arrived, and rescue swimmers pulled both individuals from the river. The man who first dove in was taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation, while the Samaritan was treated for minor injuries. Witnesses described the Samaritan's actions as brave, highlighting the dangers of such rescues without proper equipment.
"He was brave. He just jumped in there and he helped him."
"The guy saving him, he knew how to tread water. Then two guys jumped in with wetsuits."
