Michigan Police Help Distressed Man Threatening to Jump From Overpass

Police officers in Michigan saved a man from jumping onto the I-96 freeway on December 17, dramatic footage shows.

Livonia Police Department released video of the incident, which occurred on an overpass west of Inkster, directly over the I-96.

In the footage, the man can be seen standing on the edge of the overpass, telling officers that he’d been “pushed to the brink.”
