REVERE, Massachusetts (WCVB) — Two men were rescued from the waters near North Shore Drive in Revere, Massachusetts, after struggling to swim to shore and calling for help.
Cellphone video shows the men in the water, with a jet ski visible on a nearby sandbar.
A witness, Reggie Deleon, said he and his daughter heard the men calling for help and contacted 911.
“They were swimming. They tried to come to shore. They were swimming right there, and they tried to come to here. They were trying, but they can’t,” Deleon said.
One of the men rescued said he and a friend were trying to swim to shore after the jet ski got stuck.
“I’m from the area. I know the area really well, but I didn’t know there was a sandbar,” said Jake McQuade.
Revere firefighters have been contacted for more details, but no response has been received yet.
