Police are looking for a woman who fell into the Harlem River earlier this morning. According to 1010WINS, "Apparently, there were a group of people tail-gate partying in a dark, secluded area off the Harlem River Drive. The woman fell in the river around 2:30 a.m. where a broken part of the 6-foot tall fence was and four other people jumped in to rescue her." Her friends had to be rescued themselves, as the Gothamist Newsmap notes multiple reports of people in the water being retrieved (for instance, at 3:17 a.m., "Reporting 2 Victims Were Extricated And There Are Still 2 Males And 1 Female MISSING"). The NYPD and Coast Guard are still searching.
