Teen Rescued from Toxic Newtown Creek | New York City News
Description
A 17-year-old girl plunged into polluted Newtown Creek, clinging to pilings as she struggled to stay afloat. NYPD officers raced to her aid, tossing a life raft—only to realize she couldn’t swim. One brave officer dove in, pulled her to safety, and helped her aboard. Both were checked by EMS, lucky the crew was there—because Newtown Creek’s toxic, sewage-choked waters make even accidental dips deadly. This rescue is a testament to quick thinking and courage in the face of danger.
