CITIZENS, FIRST RESPONDERS HONORED FOR BRIDGE RESCUE
(Richmond, IN)--A group of Richmond citizens and first responders were recognized Tuesday night for their heroics. Early last month, they prevented a man from jumping from the G Street Bridge. "Their quick thinking, calm demeanor, and willingness to act in a critical moment made all the difference," said Mayor Ron Oler. The man had impaled himself on a protective fence on the bridge. Several people held him until he could be removed. "By working together to prevent him from jumping or falling, they demonstrated extraordinary compassion, bravery, and commitment to the safety of others," Oler added. All received official commendations from the city Tuesday night.
