NEW YORK — A container ship ran across the bow of a tugboat near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York Harbor on Sunday, dumping the tug’s crew of five into the water and sending the vessel to the bottom, authorities said.
The crewmen were pulled quickly from the water by workers on a nearby tug. One victim had a broken ankle and another suffered a head injury, a Coast Guard officer said. Authorities said visibility was poor at the time.
