Police say the body of a male was found Sunday afternoon by search and rescue crews in Jamaica Bay.

Police have not released the identity of the male who was pulled from the water.

The Coast Guard, FDNY, and NYPD rescue crews had been on scene searching for a missing 19-year-old fisherman Sunday afternoon.

The Coast Guard received a call that two fishermen were in distress and possibly pulled into a sinkhole.

The Coast Guard says rescuers pulled one of the men out. He was taken to a nearby hospital.

The men were fishing near the North Channel Bridge. They were reportedly fishing in waist high water when one of them was pulled into the sink hole. The other attempted to help him, and was also pulled into the sink hole.

The rescued fisherman was taken to a local hospital. No word on his condition.
