NEW YORK (VINnews) — NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Thursday released dramatic video showing officers rescuing a woman who on Wednesday, was threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge.

The footage shows members of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit climbing onto the bridge high above the East River and spending nearly an hour speaking with the woman before safely pulling her back from the edge.

“This video of a rescue last night on the Brooklyn Bridge will take your breath away,” Tisch wrote on X. “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,” she added. “May God bless them.”

The NYPD did not immediately release additional details about the woman or the circumstances leading up to the incident.
