RedactedNarrative: On 9/20/2015 around 2030hrs, I was on patrol when I responded to a call in reference to a boating accident with injuries. I located Subject in the waiting room and asked him what had happened. Subject said that he was the cousin of Victim and that they had arrived from New York a few days ago to vacation in Miami. Subject also said that through a friends friend they arranged a day on a boat. Subject could not identify the owner/operator of the vessel that they were on. He also said that he was not very good with boats and the only thing that he remembered was that the vessel was white in color. Subject recalled that himself and Victim were picked up by a Personal Watercraft (PWC) from the Haulover Boat Ramp, and that the same PWC dropped them off at the vessel. 
   
  I asked Subject if they paid for the trip or the intended time that they were going to spend on the boat, he said "No". He also stated that there were three or four boats tied together at the Sandbar and they were on one of the vessels. I asked if he knew any of the people on board. Subject again stated that there were several boats attached to each other and people would go from one boat to the others. Subject said that he and Victim spent most of the time in waist deep water close by to the boat. He said that he decided to get back on the boat and Victim told him he would go to the boat next to it. Subject said "Next thing I know, Victim was standing on a ladder and he was all cut up. Everybody was screaming." Subject also informed me that they took Victim immediately to the fuel dock with the same vessel that might have caused the accident. Subject said that they applied pressure on Victim's wounds until fire rescue arrived on scene and transported them to Aventura hospital. 
  
  The next day I went back to Aventura Hospital to interview Victim and to check on his injury status. Victim said that he went on the vessel but did not know the owner or other people on board. He stated that he spent most of the time in the water and had a couple beers. According to Victim it started raining heavily and he tried to get back on the vessel. Victim said that he somehow got sucked in towards the engine and hit the propeller causing injuries on his right upper thigh. Victim could not recall if the vessel was moving or not. 
  
  The vessel and the owner/operator involved in this accident could not be identified.
  Victim underwent surgery for propeller cuts. Victim had 4 (four) cuts ranging from 8 to 10 inches on his right upper thigh.
