Jon Bon Jovi Helped Talk Woman Off Edge of Nashville Bridge

Jon Bon Jovi has drawn praise after he helped talk a distressed woman off the edge of a bridge in Nashville on Tuesday.

Surveillance footage released by the Nashville Metro Police Department on Wednesday shows the woman standing on a ledge after climbing over the bridge’s railing. Bon Jovi is seen talking to her calmly, then assisting her back over the railing with the help of a friend. He later embraced her and walked with her back across the bridge.

“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” Nashville Police Chief John Drake said in a statement.
