The Coast Guard rescued a man from the water off the coast of Falmouth, Massachusetts Monday afternoon. Video from Falmouth police showed the moment he was hoisted from the ocean into a Coast Guard helicopter.

At about 3:30 p.m., the crew of Steamship Authority ferry "M/V Island Home" reported seeing a person in the water near Juniper Point-Woods Hole and attempted to assist the person by throwing life rings into the water.

Sea conditions and visibility were poor at the time due to a nor'easter that brought windswept rain to the Massachusetts coastline.
