Police in Nashville are crediting rock legend Jon Bon Jovi with coming to a woman’s aid on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge on Tuesday night.
According to a statement posted to the Nashville Metro Police Department’s X page on Wednesday, the musician “helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety.”
“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” Nashville Police Chief John Drake added.
A spokesperson for the Nashville Metro Police Department told CNN on Wednesday that the woman, whose name they are not releasing, was taken to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation.
In video of the incident released by the Nashville Metro Police Department on Wednesday, captured on a what appeared to be a surveillance camera, Bon Jovi is seen walking across the bridge with a camera crew when he notices the woman holding onto the ledge facing the river.
