A boat explosion in the Long Island Sound Saturday night forced 22 passengers to jump into the water.
The incident occurred just before 9:00 p.m. near Hart Island. Three individuals were pulled from the water and brought to a nearby dock, where EMS personnel began life-saving measures including CPR. Nineteen others managed to swim to Hart Island.
The boat’s captain was taken into custody and faces multiple charges, including Reckless Endangerment and Driving While Intoxicated.
