See it: NYPD rescues horse stuck in muddy water at Orchard Beach in the Bronx
NEW YORK -- Police raced to rescue a horse stuck in some muddy waters in the Bronx on Friday.
It happened on Orchard Beach.
An NYPD Special Operations Unit used what's called a rescue glide to get underneath the horse.
From there, officers pulled it to stable ground and got it upright.
Hay! Great collaborative effort this afternoon by members of Aviation, ESU, Harbor, SCUBA & Mounted.
