A man who was struggling in Long Island Sound was pulled to safety by two West Haven police officers Sunday, police said.
Numerous 911 calls came in about a person in distress at Bradley Point shortly before 1 p.m. Callers then reported that the man was in the water and struggling to stay afloat, police said.
Shore officers and other police responded, and when they arrived they determined that “the subject in the water was in immediate danger of going under if he was not given assistance,” Sgt. Charles Young said in a news release.
“He swam out for a considerable distance, approximately 100 yards, before making it to the male who was clearly struggling to stay afloat by the rock jetty,” he said.
