Jersey City police say they're searching for a person last seen
in the water Sunday underneath a Hudson River pier.
They say they were called around 6:30 p.m. about someone in the
water at the Pier Village Apartments.
Fire officials described the underneath of the building as
having voids similar to a catwalk, so a person could go under the buildings.
News 12 is told firefighters went under the buildings searching
for the person and had eyes on them but that the person disappeared.
The Jersey City Fire Department, state police, the NYPD and
North Hudson all assisted in the investigation.
There were about seven boats and two helicopters involved in the
search, and officials say that person had not yet been found as
of Sunday night.
Fire and police presence were scaled back, but News 12 is
told there will be a continued presence and lights on the water in case
that person makes another appearance.
