RedactedNarrative: On July 1,2022 at 1556 hours, I, Officer received a call from Department of Natural Resources Police Communication Center of a subject in Carr Creek who suffered a laceration to his hand while trying to anchor a sailboat.  I made contact with the reporting party, a representative for the US Naval Academy. 
  
  He advised me that a subject got hurt on the water on a rental boat, and provided me with the injured party's contact information and that the accident occurred earlier and the subject had already left. I then made contact with the victim in this case. He advised me that he was in the area of Carr Creek under sail and he tried to tie up the vessel to a mooring ball, in doing so his right hand got caught up in the cleat of the mooring ball causing an laceration. Subject1 advised he was unable to stop the bleeding from his hand, he declined all medical attention from EMS, and drove himself to Walter Reed Hospital. 
  
  The following is a email statement from Subject1 stating what took place:
  
  "After 3 hours of sailing with a friend and while attempting to rope up the mooring line to the sailboat, my right hand was caught between the rope and the boat’s cleat. Due to the strong tide and winds, my hand was lacerated by the cleat. Finding it difficult to stop the bleeding, I whistled to get the attention of the marina staff. I felt light-headed and fainted. The marina staff towed us back to the dock where paramedics performed a vital signs check and offered transport to the local hospital. I refused transport and my friend drove me to Walter Reed Medical Center, where I received care."
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County Md.
