In an act of a good Samaritan frontman Jon Bon Jovi while in the middle of shooting a music video for “The People’s House” on Nashville’s Pedestrian Bridge was interrupted when a distraught woman climbed over the barrier, seemingly considering suicide.

News of the selfless act has been circulated in social media. Some members of the police went on to comment “A shout out to Jon Bon Jovi and his team for helping a woman in Nashville on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge Tuesday night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety.”
