CW: distressing images, suicidal ideation
A distraught woman who was standing on the ledge of a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee, by complete luck was met by the beloved Jon Bon Jovi , who proceeded to comfort her, potentially saving her life.
CCTV footage shows Bon Jovi calmly leaving over the bridge, appearing to be chatting to the woman who was on the other side standing on the very edge. A bystander is then seen coming over to help Bon Jovi help the woman to safety.
A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi 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,”–Chief John Drake https://t.co/1YejKJ2WgM
