Man jumps off Verrazano Bridge; body not found
A 24-year-old Canarsie man jumped off the Verrazano Bridge on Wednesday, January 2, but his condition is unknown.
Judie Glave, a spokesperson for MTA Bridges and Tunnels, told this paper that several witnesses reported seeing a man stop his car, mid-span, in the right lane of the Staten Island-bound upper level of the bridge right before 4 p.m. and jump.
The right lane of the upper level was closed for about an hour while NYPD Harbor Units and Emergency Services Units conducted a search in the waters below the bridge.
