Heroic police officers scale Brooklyn Bridge to rescue woman

A heroic police officer scaled Brooklyn Bridge to coax down a woman who was threatening to jump. Bodycam footage shared by the New York Police Department (NYPD) shows an officer speaking to a woman who was perched above the East River on Wednesday (8 July). “I just wanna talk,” he told the woman, who remained on the steel cable for more than an hour as officers tried to get her down. “It’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem, it really is,” he said. Officers were later able to help the woman off the bridge. She was then taken to a local hospital for observation.
