Video shows Jon Bon Jovi saving woman from jumping off Nashville bridge
Singer Jon Bon Jovi is being hailed as a hero after he saved the life of a woman who was about to jump off a bridge in Nashville.
The New Jersey rocker was shooting a music video on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge around 6 p.m. Tuesday when he approached a woman who had climbed over the railing. She was standing on the edge preparing to drop into the Cumberland River roughly 80 feet below.
Video released by the Metro Nashville Police Department shows the “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer calmly walking over to the woman and waving at her. He leans against the railing and the two talk before he and another unidentified bystander reach over and help the woman back onto the bridge.
Back to safety, the two speak for a little while longer before sharing an embrace. It’s unclear exactly what the singer said to the woman that seemingly convinced her not to die by suicide.
“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” Nashvile Police Chief John Drake said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Neither Jon Bon Jovi nor his band have commented on the incident.
