It was 11:30 in the morning when officers on the scene got there to find another good samaritan named Stephen Moore trying to save these children.
An 8-year-old boy, 9-year-old girl and 11-year-old girl had gotten stranded on an outfall pipe as the waves crashed around them.
Stephen and all of the children sustained injuries from the outfall pipe, which included lacerations and cuts.
“Officer Victoria-Garcia stayed on the pipe to assist Moore while Officer Hayes grabbed the 11-year-old and put her in on his back carrying her to the shore,” the Atlantic City Police Department wrote in a press release.
“Officer Hayes returned for the 9-year-old and carried her to safety. Chief Steve Downey of the Atlantic City Beach Patrol, Lifeguard Brian Cain, and Firefighter BJ Hamilton of the Atlantic City Fire Department were off-duty doing maintenance work at a nearby Lifeguard stand when they responded to the beach.”
“They, along with Officer Scott Crawford, assisted in rescuing the 8-year-old boy and Moore from the pipe.”
