VIDEO: Bon Jovi saves a woman from jumping off a Nashville Bridge

Jon Bon Jovi this week proved he was in the right place at the right time.

He and his band were on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge to do some video when he saw a woman standing precariously over the Cumberland River. According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police, the singer helped prevent a tragedy by speaking to the woman who was on the ledge of the bridge.

Police released security video of the interaction, in which a woman in blue holds on to the railing while she stands on the ledge. Other people pass her, and farther down the bridge, Bon Jovi's team appears to be setting up for a video or photo shoot. Bon Jovi walks over to the woman with someone else as his team stands farther away. TYou can see him wave hello at her and then leans on the railing near her. Another member of his team talked to her, and gently grabbed her forearm when Bon Jovi strikes up a conversation and ultimately helped her come back onto the bridge, police said.

"It takes all of us to help keep each other safe," Police Chief John Drake said in a brief statement on X.

After about a minute, Bon Jovi walks to the woman's other side, and the pair help her back onto the pedestrian walkway.

Other people walk over after the woman is safe, and Bon Jovi embraces her in a hug. A few minutes later, he leaves the bridge with her.

Do we need another reason to love Bon Jovi?

Here is the complete video. There is no audio.
