A Mexican Navy training vessel known as the Cuauhtémoc struck the Brooklyn Bridge in New York on Saturday evening around 8:26 p.m., according to the New York Police Department and Mexican naval authorities.

Multiple people are reportedly being “aided” following the collision, though the exact number of injuries remains unclear. The incident occurred during what the Mexican Navy described as a “departure maneuver” from New York Harbor.

The collision has temporarily suspended the training cruise of the Cuauhtémoc, a prominent sailing vessel used for naval education.

The Mexican Navy confirmed the incident in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), noting that the sailboat sustained damage during the collision.

According to police reports, emergency responders were quickly dispatched to the scene following the incident. NYC Emergency Management has described the situation as “developing,” with details still being confirmed by authorities.

The Cuauhtémoc is a sailing vessel used primarily for training Mexican naval cadets and typically makes international goodwill voyages to various ports. The ship was apparently departing New York Harbor when the incident occurred, though the specific circumstances that led to the collision have not yet been disclosed.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is available.
