NEW YORK — The FDNY rescued a young boy who wandered onto the frozen Bronx River Thursday.
The dramatic scene played out near the intersection of Bronx River Avenue and Westchester Avenue around 4:30 p.m., and the entire rescue was caught on NewsCopter7 live only on Eyewitness News First at Four. He was all by himself out there, standing alone on ice so thin that his friend had fallen through moments earlier.
Then you can see as a firefighter fell through trying to get to him. It was life or death stakes and that boy wanted out. “I spoke to the young man and told him to stay where he was,” said Captain Tom Yuneman, FDNY.
