A crazed man stripped down and tried to board two Hudson River ferries yesterday — then jumped into the water when he was ejected.
When he tried to board the first ferry, the captain wouldn’t let him on because he looked unhinged, witnesses said.
Then he boarded a New York Water Taxi at about 8:30 p.m. and stripped naked, according to police.
When that captain kicked him off the boat, he jumped off the dock at Battery Park City and took a swim.
“He looked mentally sick,” said ferry worker Anwar Khalifa. “He tried to jump from the ferry, but the captain threw him off first.”
The man spent about 15 minutes in the water before police fished him out.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation.
