Man Jumps To His Death From Hudson Yards Vessel; 2nd In 2 Months

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A young man jumped to his death Monday morning from the Vessel at Hudson Yards, police said, the second suicide at the outdoor structure since last month.

Authorities responded to the structure around 11:30 a.m. after receiving multiple calls about a jumper.

He was pronounced dead shortly afterwards, police said. A spokesperson did not say whether the man had been taken to a hospital. His identity has not been released.
