Jewish Teens Helped Save Man With Swastika Tattoo At Reservoir

CHESTNUT HILL, MA — A group of Jewish teens helped save the life of a man with a swastika tattoo at the Chestnut Hill Reservoir last week, according to NBC Boston. Four students of an Orthodox all boys Jewish high school in Chestnut Hill were walking around the reservoir Thursday night when they saw a man partially submerged in the water.

Boston College Police Officer Carl Mascioli told NBC that two of the teens ran over to him while he was patrolling and let him know what they found. Mascioli said he jumped out of his car, went down the embankment and pulled the man from the water.

That's when the officer said he noticed the Nazi symbol tattooed on his hand.

Police told NBC Boston if it hadn't been for the teens, the officer likely wouldn't have seen the man and he might have died.
