A male jumped off the Jamestown-Verrazzano Bridge today, according to police.

He was being taken by a Jamestown Fire Department boat to a local hospital.

Coast Guard from Station Castle Hill in Newport responded and helped clear the scene after the incident, which happened around noon.

Police have not found a vehicle on the bridge or immediate area.

The span connects North Kingstown and the island of Jamestown.
