Nashville police are praising singer Jon Bon Jovi for helping prevent a tragedy by speaking to a woman who was on the ledge of a bridge on Tuesday night.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department shared that the singer and his team were at the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge when a woman was standing precariously over the Cumberland River.
Bon Jovi and others talked to the woman and helped her come back onto the bridge, according to police.
"It takes all of us to help keep each other safe," Police Chief John Drake said in a brief statement shared to X.
Surveillance video of the interaction was released by the department, and in it, a woman in blue can be seen holding on to the railing while standing on the ledge. Other people pass her, and further down the bridge, Bon Jovi's team appears to be setting up for a video or photoshoot.
A man, who appears to be Bon Jovi, walks over to the woman with someone else as his team stands further away. The singer waves hello at her and then leans on the railing near her.
There is no audio on the video, but it appears they begin speaking. The person with Bon Jovi gets closer and holds onto the woman's forearm.
After about a minute, Bon Jovi walks to the woman's other side and the pair help her back onto the pedestrian walkway.
Other people walk over after the woman is safe, and Bon Jovi embraces her in a hug. A few minutes later, he leaves the bridge with her.
