A dolphin is trapped near an overpass in Coney Island and the NYPD’s Harbor Unit is currently on scene, cops said.
The dolphin was spotted near Cropsey Ave. near Bay 54 St., around 10:40 a.m., according to police.
Cops were alerted when a bystander reported the dolphin appeared to be in distress in the creek, cops said.
The NYPDs Emergency Service Unit was also on scene responding to the call.
In January an injured dolphin was stranded in the Gowanus Canal as it struggled to escape but subsequently died.
