Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi is being hailed as a hero after helping a woman in distress on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, Tennessee.
The 62-year-old Bon Jovi frontman was praised by local authorities for assisting a woman who was dangerously close to the edge of the bridge on Tuesday night.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the incident occurred when Bon Jovi and his team were on the bridge, likely shooting a music video, as seen in other footage circulating on social media.
The police released a video showing Bon Jovi and his crew on the bridge when they noticed a woman standing on the ledge, precariously overlooking the Cumberland River.
In the video, the woman, dressed in blue, is seen holding on to the railing while standing on the edge, a few steps away from other passersby. As the scene unfolds, Bon Jovi is shown walking over to the woman, with members of his team staying further back to give him space.

Bon Jovi approaches her calmly, waving hello and leaning on the railing nearby in an attempt to make her feel more at ease. After a brief moment, he and another woman work together to help her step away from the ledge and back onto the pedestrian walkway.
Once the woman is safely back on solid ground, others on the bridge come over, and Bon Jovi embraces her in a comforting hug. A few minutes later, the footage shows Bon Jovi leaving the bridge alongside the woman, ensuring she is safe.
