Police in Nashville are thanking Jon Bon Jovi for helping save a woman's life.

The Metro Nashville Police Department shared a video Sept. 11 on X that authorities say shows the 62-year-old rocker walking along the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge on Tuesday. In the clip, he notices a woman standing on a ledge outside of the bridge's guard rail and approaches the woman while waving hello.

After the woman returns his wave, the man who appears to be Bon Jovi plants himself several feet away and leans with his arms on the bridge.

Another unidentified woman then moves to stand between the pair.

Bon Jovi and the second woman then inch closer to the woman still standing outside the guard rail and appear to begin speaking with her. The nearly four minute video does not have audio.

The trio appear to speak for a few more seconds before the woman on the ledge turns around to climb back onto the bridge with the pair's assistance.

With a small crowd watching, Bon Jovi helps hoist the woman over the railing back to safety. Seconds later, he places his hands on her shoulders before enfolding her in his arms.

The singer faces the woman for another minute until the pair, joined by the second woman and others, turn to leave the scene.

"A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety," Nashville Police wrote alongside the video.

The department also quoted Chief of Police John Drake, saying, "It takes all of us to help keep each other safe."
