On Tuesday afternoon, Anthony Capuano, 29, had just finished a workout in the park when he heard screaming.
A group of roughly 20 bystanders had gathered on the shore, he said, watching a car sinking into the bay.
Capuano, who happens to be a lifeguard and swim coach, didn't hesistate to jump in -- but first he had to take off his prosthetic leg.
Eleven years ago Capuano was struck by a train. First responders saved his life but it cost him his leg.
In the video below, Capuano can be seen swimming furiously through the bay toward the vehicle, while onlookers scream from the shore.
