Watch DC Firefighters Save Suicidal Man on Bridge

Sept. 15, 2021
A videographer captured the tense moments when DC firefighters and police stopped a distraught man from jumping off a bridge over the Anacostia River.

Video from penguinsix on YouTube.

The moment when the officers and firefighters rush forward to grab the man happens at about the 2:40 mark, and at one point they hold him only by one arm and one leg as he tries to fight them off while dangling off the side of the bridge.
