Jon Bon Jovi Saves Woman’s Life

Jon Bon

It happened in Tennessee. Jon Bon Jovi, 62, in the middle of a photo shoot on a Nashville bridge, notices, out of the corner of his eye, a woman seemingly going to commit suicide by standing on the other side of the bridge looking down. He waves to her. She returns the wave. He calmly walks over to her. Speaks with her. Then helps her back to safety, keeping his arms around the distraught woman in the next few moments to make sure she’s ok. His team then walks her off the bridge.

Chief Of Police John Drake told reporters, “it takes all of us to keep each other safe.”  Nashville Police released a video of the incident and posted, “a shout-out to Jon Bon Jovi and his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge Tuesday night. He helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety. “

There has been no comment from the Bon Jovi camp.

Here’s Jon Bon as seen at one of his three Soul Kitchen restaurants where he and his wife have been feeding the poor for the past decade. Diners have the option of donating or volunteering their time and efforts for their free meal. Or not.
