BOSTON (WCVB) — Video shared by Massachusetts State Police shows a trooper rescuing a man who was experiencing a mental health crisis on the Tobin Bridge.
Chelsea firefighters used a bucket truck to lift Trooper Charles up to where the man was standing, and they talked for a few minutes. Eventually, the trooper saw an opportunity to get the man off the bridge.
With the help of firefighters and secured by a harness, the trooper got the man off the bridge, where he received hugs from emergency medical services.
“Today we’re sharing some of the body-worn camera video to raise awareness of the important issue of mental health,” state police wrote.
