I was just on my way to the American sweet shop to buy some Gatorade, when I saw this guy in his 30s sitting on the ledge of the bridge. I just thought, “Wow…” I stopped and asked him if he was okay, but I knew from the look in his eyes he wasn’t, and he didn’t say anything either, but I saw tears coming from his eyes. I pleaded with him for a while to come down and sit on the steps, and eventually he did.

“It was just instinct to help that man and now lots of people around the world know about it,” he said. “I hope it makes people open their eyes to what is going on around them. Too many people walk around with their head buried in their phone.”
