NEW ROCHELLE, NY (December 15, 2025) — New Rochelle police rescued a 17-year-old male who slipped and fell on rocks along the shoreline at Davenport Park, authorities said.
The incident occurred on Dec. 14, 2025, at approximately 5:15 p.m., when police received a 911 call reporting that the teenager had fallen near the water’s edge of the Long Island Sound.
The caller said the teen was not in the water but could not climb back up due to a minor back injury.
Officers from the New Rochelle Police Critical Incident Unit responded, located the individual on the rocks near the water’s edge, and safely extracted him using rope rescue techniques.
The teenager was brought back to land without further incident and transported by ambulance to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment of his minor back injury.
The New Rochelle Police Department reminds the public to exercise extreme caution when near rocky shorelines, particularly during evening hours or in slippery conditions, as falls can occur quickly and rescue access can be difficult.
No further details about the individual’s identity will be released to protect privacy.
