A Tennessee officer saving a young man’s life moments before he attempted to jump off a bridge was dramatically captured in video footage and released on Monday.
The video, posted on the Knox County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page, shows traffic unit officer Brian Rehg rescuing an unidentified man just moments after he leaped over the rail guard of a bridge.
The incident occurred back on April 8, 2019.
