VIDEO: Two kayakers rescued after fall in Jamaica Bay

Police rescued two kayakers who fell into the waters of Jamaica Bay yesterday.

NYPD Air Sea rescue responded to a 9-1-1 call around 3 p.m. and split in two to retrieve the men, both 32. Two divers recovered the first man and transported him to Floyd Bennet Field. The man was then transferred to Kings County Hospital where he is in stable condition.

The second kayaker swam to an anchored boat in the harbor. A detective from the Emergency Service Unit saw the distressed boater and responded. He too swam to the boat and aided the man.

Both are being treated for hypothermia and listed in stable condition.
