Jon Bon Jovi has been praised after video footage shows him helping a woman to step away from the ledge of a bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rock music legend, 62, along with a woman, were seen persuading the woman to come to safety on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, US, on Tuesday (10 September).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCTV footage of the moment was later shared by The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on their social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sky News, the singer was reportedly filming a music video on the bridge, which remained open to the public during the shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the footage, Bon Jovi can be seen walking towards the woman, where he begins conversing with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman then turned to face the two as they helped her over the railing to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is then seen hugging the unknown woman before they walk down the bridge together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking to social media, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department praised the musician for his actions, writing on X: \u201cA shout out to @jonbonjovi and his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
