NASHVILLE — Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Jon Bon Jovi and a video production assistant persuaded a woman standing on the ledge of a pedestrian bridge in Nashville to come 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 was filming a music video on the bridge, which remained open to the public during the shoot.

Dramatic Encounter Captured on Video

Video posted to 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 around to face the two, and they helped her over the railing to safety. Bon Jovi talked to the woman and hugged her.

Singer Declines to Comment on Incident

A representative for the singer said Bon Jovi would not be commenting on the incident.
