Some of the first responder vehicles on the scene

Normally quiet Marina Bay in the north end of Quincy experienced a second major first responder response over the course of two weeks and a day.

Today’s incident involved someone who is apparently a likely soon to be former employee in the building of mostly apartments on the westerly side of the boat marina.

The individual was apparently in the bad way and threatening to jump from a unit in the top floor of the apartment building.

Per police radio chatter heard by Quincy Quarry News’s senior Citizen Police Scanner Monitor, a co-worker of the employee called into the Quincy Police Department around 9 AM to advise that the distraught employee was in a bad way and so threatening to jump. 

Units were then duly dispatched and by the time Quincy Quarry News personnel arrived on the scene and so saw at least a handful of marked police cruisers, several or more unmarked police SUV’s, multiple and various Brewster Ambulance Service vehicles as well as a ladder firetruck, a pumper firetruck, and a Quincy Fire Department Incident Command vehicle  

Per radio chatter heard, things become more than a bit stressful as the incident played out.

While two police crisis negotiators tried to see the threatening to jump individual basically off a ledge, a physical altercation instead broke out and the distraught individual ended up forcibly subdued and then restrained before then likely undergoing transit to South Shore Hospital for assumed observation.

All in all, the incident played out to a good end after a bit longer than a surely high stress hour and thus kudos to those who resolved the crisis.
