Davey Boy Smith Jr. says he prevented a young woman from jumping off a bridge in Alberto on Sunday.
He posted a lengthy message on social media detailing his heroic effort. While driving across the bridge, Smith said he saw the woman looking like she was about to jump off while somebody else was talking her down. He got out of his car and it became clear the woman was attempting to take her own life.
Crediting his grappling skills, Smith grabbed the woman and dragged her over the barricade onto the road. He restrained her long enough for police arrived and said she had a gun on her. She was then taken away by the authorities.
