NYPD ESU rescue a distressed man from RFK Triborough Bridge

Randalls Island- Yesterday, police rescued a man who had climbed up on the Robert F. Kennedy-Triborough Bridge and was reportedly threatening to jump, according to officials.

Police received the call of a man on the bridge at about 2:30 PM; this prompted officers from the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit-a group that handles special rescues, as well as emotionally distressed individuals-to respond to the scene.

Upon arrival, ESU personnel put on climbing harnesses and other safety equipment, before making their way up the bridge, stopping just below the man to give him space while they talked with him.
