The video was captured on NYPD body-worn cameras and posted to X on Wednesday. 

This is the second time in the past few months that Officers Garcia and Mohan have saved the day.

In October, the officers rescued a woman who was clinging to a pier in the Gowanus Canal. She was trapped underneath and couldn’t climb out, according to the NYPD. She was taken to a local hospital and was expected to recover, police said at the time.
