The team observed the kayaker and deployed two divers, NYPD said.
Video shows rescuers swimming out to the kayaker before he is hoisted up to the helicopter.
Earlier this month, two teen swimmers died after being pulled from Jamaica Bay. Eyewitnesses told PIX11 News a rip current pulled the teens underwater.
