NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Jon Bon Jovi and a video production assistant persuaded a woman standing on the edge of a pedestrian bridge in Nashville to get back over the railing to safety.
Police say the encounter happened Tuesday on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, which spans the Cumberland River.
The Tennessean reported that Bon Jovi shot a music video on the bridge, which was open to the public during filming.
Video posted on YouTube but later removed showed the assistant talking to the woman. The Grammy-winning frontman slowly approached, waved to the woman and joined the conversation.
Eventually the woman turned to face the two and they helped her over the railing to safety. Bon Jovi spoke to the woman and hugged her.
A representative said the singer would not comment on the incident.
