NEW YORK — A chartered private boat capsized on the Hudson River Tuesday, killing a little boy and a woman who were among passengers dumped into the water, officials said.
The private boat flipped around 2:46 p.m. off Pier 84 near W. 46 Street and 12th Avenue 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. Three others rescued were in critical condition at area hospitals, the officials said.
The 27-foot vessel was chartered by a family and friends from New Jersey, officials and sources said.
