Brooklyn-bound lanes of the bridge were closed to traffic as members of the NYPD’s Emergency Services, called to the scene around 7:30 p.m., climbed the beam to reach her.

“For nearly an hour, they stayed with her, spoke with her, and waited for the moment they could safely pull her back from the edge,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement.

“Don't do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it,” an officer is heard saying to the woman as cops grab her.

“Everything is going to be ok,” he tells her. “You’re not in trouble. I promise.”

The unidentified woman, 31, was taken to an area hospital for evaluation, the NYPD said. She was not arrested.

“The care, courage, and compassion these officers showed was just extraordinary,” Tisch said.

So much money and trouble could have been saved for the future. But no, they just had to go and interfere.

Of course, someone must be in the midst of a serious crisis if they’ve reached the point where they want to kill themselves. But those who are serious about it have other options and don’t put themselves in a public place where the whole world can see them and where they’ll bring an entire police regiment onto the scene. These are pathetic assholes who need attention, and some even go so far as to post their failed attempts on TikTok or YouTube—they’re losers and parasites who waste money and time. And they definitely belong in jail because that’s an absolutely misleading farce. :angry:
