This video of a rescue last night on the Brooklyn Bridge will take your breath away.
High above the East River, NYPD ESU officers climbed onto the Brooklyn Bridge to reach a woman in crisis who was threatening to jump.
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.
The care, courage, and compassion these officers showed was just extraordinary. May God bless them.
