Two Men Rescued After Boat Overturns In Hudson River

FINANCIAL DISTRICT, NY — Emergency responders rescued two men from the Hudson River Monday after their boat flipped over, the Coast Guard said.

The small boat floated between Jersey City and the Financial District at about 3:30 p.m. when the vessel capsized, launching one man into the river and leaving the other clinging on the boat's hull, officials said.

Both men were rescued and no injuries were reported. It is unclear why the boat capsized, authorities said.

The Coast Guard, NYPD and Jersey City Police Department responded to the scene.
