Video: NJ rocker Jon Bon Jovi helps save woman standing along bridge

One of New Jersey's biggest celebrities, Jon Bon Jovi, has been credited with helping save a woman standing dangerously along a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee — and police shared video of the encounter.

On Tuesday evening, Bon Jovi was on the pedestrian crossing with a small camera crew, News 2 Nashville WKRN reported.

He can be seen in video released by Metro Police, along with another bystander, approaching the apparently distraught woman, who had stepped over a safety railing.

After speaking with her, the rockstar and the other person helped the woman climb back to the main crossing, where Bon Jovi spoke with her a while long, the News 2 report said..

The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge is a short walk to the rockstar's new downtown bar and restaurant along Broadway, called JBJ Nashville.

He was on the bridge filming a music video when the spontaneous intervention happened, TMZ reported.

Police video released to WKRN was posted to the news outlet's Youtube account:

Of course, Bon Jovi and his wife have become known for helping those in need here in New Jersey — through their JBJ Soul Kitchen restaurants and facilities.

Last year, a pop-up location opened on the campus of New Jersey City University in Jersey City — following three others in Red Bank, Toms River and Rutgers-Newark.
