Newly released video shows officers climbing the bridge to reach the woman, whose feet dangled over the edge of one of the bridge’s steel cables.<\/p>\n

“I just wanna talk,” one officer tells the woman. “What\u2019s happening today?”<\/p>\n

The officer continued speaking with the woman, urging her to accept help<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NYPD Emergency Service Unit officers climbed the Brooklyn Bridge to rescue a woman after nearly an hour of negotiations, police said. (NYPD)<\/p>\n

“I wanna help you, that\u2019s why I\u2019m up here right now,” the officer said. “I genuinely care, I do. It\u2019s a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It really is. I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going through, but I want to understand. We have services we can get you to.<\/p>\n

“The strongest thing you can do right now is accept help, I promise you,” he continued. “That\u2019s the strongest thing you can do.”<\/p>\n

As the woman stood on the cable while holding onto another support cable with one arm, an officer moved close enough to wrap his arms around her and pull her to safety.<\/p>\n

Police said officers spent nearly an hour talking with the woman before safely bringing her down the bridge.<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch shared the bodycam video on social media and praised the responding officers.<\/p>\n

“This video of a rescue<\/a> last night on the Brooklyn Bridge will take your breath away,” Tisch wrote.<\/p>\n

“High above the East River, NYPD ESU officers climbed onto the Brooklyn Bridge to reach a woman in crisis who was threatening to jump,” she continued. “For nearly an hour, they stayed with her, spoke with her, and waited for the moment they could safely pull her back from the edge. The care, courage, and compassion these officers showed was just extraordinary. May God bless them.”<\/p>\n
