Jon Bon Jovi Helped Talk Woman Off Ledge of Nashville Bridge, Police Say

Nashville police commended rock legend Jon Bon Jovi and his team for helping a woman who was standing on the edge of a bridge in Nashville on Tuesday night.
“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” said Nashville Police Chief John Drake.
Further down the bridge, Bon Jovi’s team can be seen hanging back watching the incident.
The footage shows the singer and the production assistant waving hello to the woman and leaning on the railing near her while talking together.
Shortly after, the two good Samaritans help pull the woman over the railing onto the pedestrian walkway. Bon Jovi continues to talk to the woman and eventually embraces her in a hug before other individuals on the bridge come over.
A representative for the singer told The Associated Press that Bon Jovi would not be commenting on the incident.
Bon Jovi is known to have compassion for others. The musician and his wife, Dorothea, formed the JBJ Soul Foundation in 2006, which helps people who are suffering from hunger, poverty, and homelessness across the United States.
The bridge in question, formerly known as the Shelby Avenue Pedestrian Bridge, was renamed in 2014 to honor another man who prevented a suicide.
