At least three people are dead, two are injured and another is missing after a boat capsized in a waterway between Brooklyn and Staten Island Sunday afternoon, officials said.

Five of the six occupants of the boat were pulled from the freezing waters after the vessel capsized around noon in the Ambrose Channel, the city’s main shipping lane that slices the two Big Apple boroughs, according to the NYPD.

Police divers, the US Coast Guard and other agencies descended on the dire scene, where they found four of the five victims unresponsive, according to the military branch.

Two people were airlifted to Staten Island Hospital and three were taken to Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook where emergency services were waiting, cops and the military branch said.
