Police chief praises Jon Bon Jovi
According to the news portal "CNN", 62-year-old rock singer Jon Bon Jovi was on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville at around 6 p.m. to film scenes for his new music video for the song "People's House".
He discovered a woman in a dangerous position: she was only holding on to the outside of the bridge railing with one hand. The rock star's production assistant noticed the situation first and started a conversation with the obviously desperate woman.
Bon Jovi then intervened decisively, approached slowly, waved to her and also spoke to her in a calming manner. With his level-headed approach, he was able to dissuade the woman from her plan and bring her to safety. The dramatic scene took place during filming, but instead of a video, the focus is now on a heroic act.
Shortly after Jon Bon Jovi's courageous intervention on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, the fire department and police arrived at the scene. Police Commissioner John Drake expressed his gratitude and praised the rock star and his team on X. "They helped talk the woman back from the edge over the Cumberland River," Drake wrote, adding, "We all have a part to play in keeping each other safe."
Police posted a surveillance video of the incident on YouTube, but the video was removed shortly after as it allegedly violated the platform's "community guidelines". Despite this, numerous fans celebrated Jon Bon Jovi on social media for his civil courage.
Many described his action as a "heroic act" and praised the musician for his quick and level-headed actions.
