Person Rescued From Water In Bay Shore

BAY SHORE, NY — First responders saved a despondent male at the Maple Avenue dock in Bay Shore on Wednesday morning, according to the Bay Shore Fire Department.

The male jumped into the water following an argument with a female partner, according to Kevin Butler, chief of the department. Two New York State Police troopers went after the male, according to Butler, who arrived at 10:40 a.m. and saw the troopers lying on the ground while hanging over the edge of the dock and holding the male, who was having trouble staying afloat.

They tried to pull the male out of the water, but it was difficult due to the amount of clothing he was wearing, and the male was not cooperating, Butler said.

Butler secured a piece of rope around the male's shoulder and under his arm to help get him out of the water. Assistant Chief Thomas Komoroski arrived shortly after and the four rescuers pulled the male out of the water, Butler said.

The male was treated by Bay Shore Brightwaters Rescue Ambulance and brought to South Shore University Hospital for treatment.
