New Rochelle Police Rescue Teenager Stranded on Rocks at Davenport Park

On December 14, 2025, at approximately 5:15 p.m., New Rochelle Police received an urgent 911 call reporting that a 17-year-old male had slipped and fallen while on the rocks along the shoreline at Davenport Park.

The caller reported that the teenager had fallen near the water’s edge of the Long Island Sound but was not in the water and was unable to climb back up due to a minor back injury.

Officers from the New Rochelle Police Critical Incident Unit responded promptly, located the individual on the rocks near the water’s edge, and safely extracted him using rope rescue techniques. The teenager was brought back to land without further incident.

He was subsequently transported by ambulance to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment of his minor back injury.

The New Rochelle Police Department reminds the public to exercise extreme caution when near rocky shorelines, particularly during evening hours or in slippery conditions, as falls can occur quickly and rescue access can be difficult.

No further details about the individual’s identity will be released to protect privacy.
