Maryland State Trooper pulled man back from the edge on bridge

A trooper’s in-car camera captures a tragedy avoided when a Maryland State Trooper from JFK Barrack observed a man walking southbound on the Tydings Bridge in Cecil County.
The trooper approached the man to check on his welfare. While doing so, the man began to climb over the wall of the bridge, attempting to jump. The trooper quickly exited his vehicle and grabbed the man before he could get over the side.
Congratulations to another job well done by one of ‘Maryland’s Finest’!
