"Body cam video of the Nov. 30 incident posted to the NYPD News account on X shows rescuers toss the bright orange ring to the struggling man, before one declares, He's too frozen. He's gonna fall off. Some officers can be heard yelling Hold on! Hold on! before two others make the decision to step over the guardrail to attempt a rescue."
"One, two, three! counted down an officer before the two rescuers plunged into the freezing water and swam to the man clinging to the life ring. The officer grabbed the man in a bear hug before comforting the victim. I got you! You're Okay! he said. Relax! Nice and easy! You're Okay! Rescuers then helped the man to the rocky shore as he still clung fast to the life ring."
NYPD Harbor Unit officers responded to a 911 call about a person struggling in freezing water. Rescuers initially tossed a bright orange life ring, but the man was too frozen to hold on. Two officers stepped over a guardrail, counted down, and jumped into the water to reach the victim. One officer secured the man in a bear hug while providing verbal reassurance. The team used a ladder as a backboard to bring the man to a rocky shore and transferred him to a waiting ambulance. The individual is now in stable condition.
