Boy, young woman die after private boat dumps a dozen riders in Hudson River: ‘Couldn’t make out anything other than their screams’

NEW YORK — A chartered private boat capsized on the Hudson River Tuesday — killing a little boy and a woman who were among 12 passengers dumped into the water, officials said.

The private boat flipped around 2:46 p.m. off Pier 84 near W. 46 St. and 12th Ave. in Midtown, police and fire officials said. All the riders were pulled from the water, but a 7-year-old boy and a 50-year-old woman later died.

The 27-foot vessel was chartered by a family and friends, officials said.
