A woman and infant were killed after a boat capsized in New York’s harbour and a man faces reckless endangerment charges over the tragedy.
The 22-foot Bayliner speedboat overturned at about 10:25pm (local time) on Saturday near Liberty Island, home to the Statue of Liberty, the US Coast Guard said.
Twelve people were rescued from the water before police arrived.
Police divers later located a 27-year-old woman and a five-month-old girl in the water.
Both were taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead.
The victims’ identities have not been released pending notification of family, police said on Sunday.
A 46-year-old New York man has been charged with 13 counts of reckless endangerment.
