A team of New York police officers scaled the side of skyscraper to rescue a distraught woman 54-stories in the air, department video shows.
The incident occurred on May 1 in Midtown Manhattan, and was captured by an Emergency Services Unit (ESU) detective’s body camera.
Footage of the dangerous operation was then shared to the New York Police Department's X page, where officers wrote of how the woman was hoisted to safety, after being found on a ledge outside protective glass meant to keep spectators safe, the Daily Mail reports.
