An unhinged, 44-year-old naked man jumped off the top of the Brooklyn Bridge Sunday afternoon in front of shocked onlookers — and miraculously survived, according to cops and wild video.
The nutjob affixed multiple flags at the top of the bridge and “took off clothing” after he scaled the north tower on the Manhattan side of the iconic bridge around 2:30 p.m., police sources said.
The NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit tried to convince him to come down, but he leapt instead.
“A guy jumped out of the top after getting naked,” an X user wrote while posting video of the disturbing jump.
Quick-thinking Harbor Unit cops rescued the man from the East River.
He was taken to NYC Health+Hospitals Bellevue, where he was listed in stable condition.

Ruptured spleen is what usually gets ya in high dives.
It’s possible he had a splenectomy.

Well if he didn’t hold the boys tight, he’s unhinged now.
I don’t think he dove. More likely he got the enema of the century
I remember years ago, late 70’s/early 80’s, ABC Sports used to air high-diving competitions. It made me queasy just watching the divers climb up the long, skinny ladder to the little (12” square) platform. I remember one diver who got up there, stood for a while, and eventually climbed back down. It was some crazy stuff.
Or you can rip your aorta loose.
In the Bible the “naked nutjob” was demon possessed man who ended up being healed...

If he wasn’t a tranny before, he is now................
Wonder how he entered the water? No way it was head-first. Had to have broken some limbs at least. Lucky he didn’t break his neck.
He got naked and erected his what now?
His flag, you say?
The fact he survived is proof positive that God protects the drunk and the ignorant.
It’s amazing that he survived that 😳
Only in New York kids, only in New York.
I am surprised he didn’t break his legs. From that height it is like jumping onto a concrete payment.
I may be wrong but if high school science class was right that ‘’jumper’’ probably reached terminal velocity after falling about a hundred feet doing about about 120 mph.
That would be like hitting concrete.
Yeah and more than likely a shattered rib cage.
He ran it up the pole!
Every organ inside that guys body was turned to mush.
“Nutjob” as opposed to what, especially in New York?
“Nutjob”? Well he’s gonna need one now if there is anything left. Probably turned to mush.
