On Sunday afternoon around 2:17 PM, a motorist traveling on the lower level of the Verrazzano Bridge had noticed a vehicle in front that suddenly stopped. The driver of that car got out and went to the railing and climbed over.

Tuli Abraham grabbed the man to prevent him from jumping. Around two minutes later, he was joined by a NY State Trooper that just happened to be passing by thought there was a two-car accident but heard Abraham screaming for his help.

The emotionally disturbed man was taken into custody and transported via ambulance to a hospital. Notes were found in the man’s car that obtained a will, emergency contact numbers as well what appeared to be a suicide note. Via Gifter in Gotham
