Moment heroic traffic cop saves 'suicidal' man from bridge in India

A man who allegedly wanted to take his own life was helped down from a bridge in India by traffic cops after two hours of talks.

Footage captured on September 18 in Raipur shows the man dangling precariously from the gallows of a bridge as police officers climb up to assist him.

One brave officer grabs the man and hoists him back up onto the bridge before more men come to assist him.

The officers are seen thanking each other after the event.
