Video Shows The Moment Jon Bon Jovi Approached The Woman On The Bridge
Surveillance from the bridge shows the rocker and another person approach the woman and briefly converse with her. Jon embraces the woman and with the help of the other witness, brings the woman to safety.
“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” Chief John Drake commented on the video on Facebook.
Fans praised Jon for his act of kindness.
One person wrote, “I love JBJ but I’d like to also thank the lady with no name.”
This person agreed, “Great job, John Bon Jovi, and your friend who helped you save the jumper. U2 are heroes, New Jersey strong.”
So did this one, “Lovely human being.”
Jon devotes much of his time to the greater good. According to the JBJ Soul Foundation, which he helped found in 2006, everyone’s life is important. The foundation does its best to help others in any way that it can.
“It is the organization’s goal to recognize and maximize the human potential in those affected by hunger, poverty and homelessness by offering assistance in establishing programs that provide food and affordable housing while supporting social services and job training programs.”
Jon Bon Jovi has not made a statement about the incident or what made him decide to step in. Whatever the impetus, we’re sure the woman is grateful today. He’s not just a music icon, he’s a lifesaver.
