Trigger warning: This story contains themes of suicide that some readers may find distressing. During fragile and sinking moments in life, when one feels they’ve hit rock bottom, they need empathy more than anything else. To know someone has been through a similar plight and emerged out of it or to have someone who can understand the problem is much needed. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) helped save a man’s life, not with their force or strength, but with empathy. In a post shared on X, NYPD News shared the scenario of a man standing at the top of the bridge with the intent to take his own life. Two officers on duty intervened on time but the overwhelming conversation they had with the man left one of them in tears.
