Body camera footage captured the moment two deputies with the Wise County Sheriff’s Office rescued a man who attempted to jump from a bridge in Appalachia.

On Monday, Dec. 4, Deputies Anthony Walsh and Alex Stallard responded to the bridge for a reported distress call. When they arrived, they found a man standing on the bridge, threatening to jump.

“Understanding the urgency of the situation, both deputies immediately engaged in communication with the individual, employing their extensive crisis intervention training to dissuade him from taking his own life,” a spokesperson with the sheriff’s office said.
