CCTV footage shows the Livin’ on a Prayer singer leaning on the railings of the bridge as he speaks to the woman before helping her back to safety.
Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi has been captured on camera helping to persuade a “distraught” woman to step away from the ledge of a bridge in Nashville.
The US singer was reportedly filming a video for his band’s track “The People’s House” on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge when the woman was spotted on the other side of the railings.
CCTV footage, shared by local police, shows the Bon Jovi frontman and woman walking down the middle of the bridge on Tuesday evening.
They then slowly approach the distressed woman before the singer leans on the railings and appears to begin talking to her.
The woman Bon Jovi was walking with is seen stroking the person’s back as they encourage her to come back to safety.
They are then seen helping the woman to climb back over the railings.
Bon Jovi then embraces her as they stand together for around a minute before walking back down the bridge together.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department shared the video on its YouTube channel and said the singer had helped a “distraught woman”.
In a post on the X social media platform, the force wrote: “A shout out to @jonbonjovi and his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night.
