NJ’s Jon Bon Jovi Helps Talk Down Woman On Ledge
NASHVILLE, TN — Music icon Jon Bon Jovi is being hailed a hero, after he helped talk down a distraught woman who was standing on the ledge of a bridge in downtown Nashville.
The Middlesex County native was reportedly filming a music video on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, which spans the Cumberland River, on Tuesday. Video shows several people walk by the woman, who was on the edge of the bridge looking at the river, when Bon Jovi approaches her and leans on the rail to get her attention.
A video shared by Metropolitan Nashville Police has been removed from YouTube, though media outlets including WKRN-TV shared a clip of the singer-songwriter and a member of his film crew talking to the woman, then pulling her back onto the bridge.
Bon Jovi continued speaking with her, and eventually gave the woman a hug.
The police department gave a shout-out to Bon Jovi and his team for helping persuade her to come off the ledge to safety.
“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” police chief John Drake said in a social media post.
According to WKRN, first responders took the 36-year-old woman to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.

Naked man wanted for masturbating in front of 6 women at NJ apartment complex
A perv in New Jersey is giving new meaning to “naked aggression.”
A nude man has been pleasuring himself in front of women outside a South Brunswick apartment complex in a series of brazen and sometimes broad-daylight attacks, according to police.
The creep, over the last several months, has made a habit of stripping off his clothes and accosting women near the Royal Oaks Apartment complex in Monmouth Junction.
He’s even masturbated in front of as many as six women at the complex and in a nearby wooded area, according to South Brunswick Police.
The sex-pest has previously taken the periodic naked prowls between 11 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., according to local police, and sticks to the side of the apartment building that abuts a wooded area so that he can make speedy escapes.
But, cops say, the man has gotten more bold as he continues to go unpunished for his lecherous antics.
He most recently struck on Tuesday at around 4:30 p.m., which cops say is a worrying departure from his usual pattern of nighttime perversion.
“We really need the public’s help to identify him,” said Deputy Chief Jim Ryan of the South Brunswick Police Department. “His actions are becoming more escalated.”
The man is described as six-feet tall, with dreadlocks or braided hair, and is invariably, over the course of the several incidents, solely clad in flip-flops and a ski mask or a hood.
The individual has not touched any of the people he has encountered, according to cops.
Deputy Chief Ryan suspects there are more victims who have yet to come forward.
Police released a security camera screenshot of the man and said additional video and photographic evidence will be released at a later date.
Neighbors of the Royal Oaks Apartment complex off of Route 1 are being asked by police to check their doorbell cameras for video of the man.
If anyone has any information on these incidents they are asked to call South Brunswick Police at 732-329-4000.
