NAHANT, Mass. — A Nahant man has been seriously injured after authorities responded to a water incident on Short Beach.
According to Nahant Police Chief Timothy Furlong and Fire Chief Austin Antrim, crews responded to Nahant Short Beach around 3:22 p.m. to reports of a person in distress in the water.
An initial investigation revealed that the individual was riding an apparent surfboard-like water toy before he was found in the water.
A passerby brought the man, a 57-year-old Nahant resident, to the shore, where an off-duty Cambridge Firefighter and an off-duty nurse began life-saving measures.
Once first responders arrived at the scene, they took over providing care to the man, who was later transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.
