At approximately 9:08 PM, Bridgeport’s Emergency Communications Center (ECC) received multiple calls reporting an individual with possible mental health issues jumping from the Grand Republic ferry boat into the waters of Bridgeport Harbor.

Emergency response teams swiftly mobilized, including the Bridgeport Police Department Marine Unit, Bridgeport Fire Department Marine Unit, the United States Coast Guard (USCG), American Medical Response (AMR), and surrounding mutual aid agencies. The ongoing search is a collaborative effort between the USCG and the Bridgeport Police Department.

Authorities have classified this as an active investigation. No further details have been released at this time.
