Video shows MOMENT teens JUMP into the Hudson River before DISAPPEARING!
Cops are searching for two teenage boys who jumped into the Hudson River in Inwood on Friday afternoon — and never resurfaced, police sources said.
The teens, both aged 13, were believed to be playing around when they removed their clothes and leaped into the river from a railway bridge near the Dyckman baseball fields in Inwood Hill Park around 5:45 p.m.
One of the boys was seen “struggling” in the water at one point, an NYPD spokesman said.
Police continued to canvas the area off Dyckman Sreet and the Henry Hudson Bridge into Friday night with boats and helicopters.

Haunting footage obtained by The Post Saturday shows the moment a 13-year-old boy jumps into the Hudson River to join his pal, both of whom have not been seen since.
The five-second clip from Friday begins as one of the teenagers, identified by family and friends as 13-year-old Isaiah Moronta, lands in the water and is seen struggling in the surf.
The other teen, Manny Flores, stands on the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge, and looks down at his friend, as a pal behind the camera laughs. The two have not been seen since. Items belonging to one were found Saturday, as police divers continued their desperate search.
“I had gotten a call from one of the parents telling me that my son jumped from the bridge, that’s all I heard. I hung up and called his phone, I have a tracker on him, and I saw that he was in the Hudson,” Isaiah’s mother, Yvelise Beltry, 35, said Saturday.
“When I called the phone his father picked up, crying. I came right over here. When I came here they told me he was trying to save another kid,” she continued.
“They took their clothes off and my son Isaiah went in first, he came out, and the other kid went in, but he was struggling, and my son went in to save him, and the current took them away,” she added.
Still, the distraught mom clung to hope.
“He’s somewhere, he’s somewhere…he’s with his friend,” she said.
