Rock icon Jon Bon Jovi could be seen on camera helping persuade a woman to step off the ledge of a bridge in Nashville.
The Livin’ on a Prayer singer stopped to coax the unidentified woman back over a railing on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
HOW IT HAPPENED
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the incident happened on Tuesday night while the 62-year-old was filming a music video on the walkway.
In the clip, which was shared by local police, Bon Jovi can be seen approaching the woman with a member of his entourage.
He then leans in over the side railing before edging closer to the woman before he then heroically hoists her up over the railing and embraces her.
Officers responded to the scene, with Nashville PD Chief John Drake applauding the actions of the star, saying: ‘It takes all of us to help keep each other safe.’
