Bay Ridge Father is a Hero in Coney Island

NY Post Photo

William O’Connell saved an 11 year old girl’s life this weekend.

On Saturday afternoon around 1:30  pm,  William O’Connell, a well known photographer in Bay Ridge  (and also for the NY Post)  was at Coney Island  beach with his son and friends.  An 11 year old girl went under the water lifeguards could not find her.  O’Connell dove in to get her. He handed the girl to the lifeguards. The lifeguard resuscitated the girl and then an ambulance brought her to the hospital.  

Locally, O’Connell is known for being a generous photographer to his community.
