The department shared the Nov. 10 incident video via social media. It explained that Officer Reyes responded to the bridge to check the welfare of a man who had been reported to be sleeping on the bridge.
The officer’s body-worn camera captured as he approached the man, who appeared to be sleeping. Just as the officer reached the man, he rolled over and fell off the edge of the bridge. Reyes quickly grabbed the falling man by his shirt.
A nearby jogger saw what was happening and helped the officer rescue the man.
The video showed the officer holding the man by his wrist and sweatshirt as he and the bystander heave him up over the edge of the bridge to safety.
Police said the man was evaluated by medical staff and was not injured. According to police, he simply fell asleep.
The officer eventually gave him a ride back to his family.
