The bridge jumper was spotted by a man walking dogs on Roosevelt Island. According to the NY Post:

...Cardozo, 33, was walking dogs on Roosevelt Island when he saw the man fall in the distance. He called 911 and signaled the passing ferry boat.

“The NYC ferry was coming from Brooklyn,” Cardozo recalled to the Post. “Not sure if they saw us or not, but they turned around and tried to save him.”...

Saw a guy jump off the Queensboro Bridge. When he fell he seemed unconscious but he woke up and tried to swim towards us (I was with my crew) and then he stopped suddenly and started to drown. I called 911 and signaled the NYC ferry to pick him up.
