RedactedNarrative: On 8/14/2021 at approximately 3:13 PM, officers responded to a call for a boating accident at National Harbor Marina, at National Harbor, MD.
  When I arrived on scene at 3:21 PM, Prince George's County Police and EMS were already on scene assisting the operator of the vessel. The vessel operator was being transported by Prince George's County EMS to Adventist Healthcare Fort Washington Medical Center in Fort Washington. OPERATOR 1 was alert and in good spirits.
       He stated that while operating his new Kawasaki PWC with MD Registration MD 0409 BR, he had debris stuck in the jet engine. He returned to the docks at National Harbor Marina and proceeded to try and remove the debris from the PWC. OPERATOR 1 had tied the vessel to the dock using a line attached to the handle and throttle. After working on the PWC and removing the debris, OPERATOR 1 started the PWC. The line attached to the PWC had activated the throttle and propelled the PWC forward. The PWC was tied to the dock. OPERATOR 1' leg was trapped between the PWC and the floating pier. The PWC turned off when the kill switch lanyard was detached due to the forward movement.
       There was no visible damage done to the PWC.
       I followed OPERATOR 1 to Adventist HealthCare. At the hospital, OPERATOR 1 was receiving stitches for a deep laceration to his right shin. The doctors stated that OPERATOR 1 would be cleared to leave after receiving stitches and a tetanus shot. OPERATOR 1 stated that he had not received any pain medication and was feeling okay.
