A 44-year-old man jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge on August 2, 2026, after affixing multiple flags and removing his clothing.
He survived and was rescued by NYPD Harbor Unit from the East River, then taken to NYC Health+Hospitals Bellevue in stable condition.
The NYPD Emergency Services Unit attempted to persuade the man to come down before he jumped, but he jumped anyway.
A similar incident occurred weeks earlier when a woman climbed onto the Brooklyn Bridge and threatened to jump, prompting a rescue by NYPD ESU officers.
