Police in Nashville, Tennessee, praised singer Jon Bon Jovi for helping to prevent a tragedy by speaking to a woman standing on the edge of a bridge on Tuesday.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said Bon Jovi and his team were at the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge when a woman stood dangerously over the Cumberland River.

Bon Jovi and others spoke to the woman and helped her get back onto the bridge, police said.

“We all have a responsibility to protect each other,” Police Chief John Drake said in a brief statement to X.

Police released surveillance video of the encounter, which shows a woman in blue holding onto the railing while standing on the ledge. Other people walk past her, and further down the bridge, Bon Jovi’s crew appears to be preparing for a video or photo shoot.

A man who appears to be Bon Jovi walks up to the woman with another person while his team stands further away. The man waves to her and then leans on the railing next to her.

There is no sound, but it seems as if they are starting to speak. The person with Bon Jovi comes closer and holds the woman’s forearm.

After about a minute, Bon Jovi goes to the other side of the woman and the two help her back onto the sidewalk.

After the woman is safe, other people come over and Bon Jovi hugs her. A few minutes later, he leaves the bridge with her.

A spokesman for Bon Jovi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
