The Winnipeg Police Service says a community and local business rallied together to help save a man's life Tuesday afternoon.
On Tuesday at 3:45 p.m., the Winnipeg Police Service received several 911 calls about a man climbing over the ledge of the Disraeli Bridge at Higgins Avenue.
Patrol Sergeant Saif Khan arrived, circling his patrol vehicle underneath the now-dangling man. Looking up, the officer saw the bottom of the man's white shoes 35 feet in the air, hands clinging to the railing rungs.
Ordering two officers to the top of the bridge, the pair clutched the man in distress' jacket through the rungs. They held on as Khan came up with a plan.
