Watch Cincinnati Police Save Woman From Garage Ledge: ‘There’s An Angel For You’

Ohio police officers recently saved a suicidal woman threatening to jump from the 5th floor of a parking garage.

Captured on the officers’ body cameras, the harrowing, yet inspiring moments demonstrate the city’s finest in their finest hour.

Multiple bystanders called 911 after seeing a silhouette on the roof of the garage, sending officers from the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police racing to the scene.

Officers Newman and Ramey arrive to find a woman standing on the wrong side of the railing.

The situation, Police spokesmen said, is one which their officers are trained to encounter, and Officer Newman jumped into action. He tries soothing the woman with words of comfort, pleas to step back from the edge, and a personal anecdote that ultimately struck a chord.

“I lost my daughter many years ago, and I wish she could be here,” Officer Newman says in released body cam footage, demonstrating that the deepest sadness and despair can be overcome. The woman responds by saying that her children had also died, but quick-thinking Newman didn’t give up.

“They are angels looking over us—there’s an angel for you,” he said.

Evidently that empathy won over the would-be jumper who quickly calls out for the officers to save her. As if the encounter wasn’t already stressful enough, at that moment, the woman slipped and was suddenly hanging on with only the strength in her hands.

They managed to reach her before the worst, pull her up, and bring her to safety. NBC 5 WLWT reports that she is unharmed.

Cincinnati Police Chief Theresa Theetge commended her officers in an interview with ABC 9, saying that training for situations like this is made available, but at the end of the day, it’s their passion for public service that ultimately makes the difference.

“They’re supposed to be public servants; they’re passionate about their work and I think that comes through in the video,” she said.
