NYPD Police Activity At Roosevelt Island East River Subway Pier Last Night - Report Of East River Jumper Unfounded

Received this message from a Roosevelt Island resident last night:

There is something going on at the pier - police cars, 3 ambulances, police boats, helicopter with flashlight ...
Then a Jason Tweet:
Also, a tweet from Ashley

The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) sent this advisory at 10:17 PM last night:
Due to an incident requiring NYPD and FDNY response along the west drive and riverwalk area ALL Red Bus Service will be operating along the east drive until further notice.
Sincerely,

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Advisories Group
I asked RIOC what happened at the Pier last night and received this response from their Press Spokesperson earlier today:
Last night (10/25/12) at approximately 9:35pm, PSD responded to an alleged jumper in the East River. NYPD Harbor Unit responded and after a search, deemed it unfounded. Any other questions should be directed to the NYPD.
