Cops responded at 3:17 PM to reports of a man climbing around on the outside part of the bridge near the Brooklyn side.
The officers began a dialogue with the man who told them he was going to jump off and kill himself.
The possible jumper was described by witnesses as agitated - visibly flailing his arms, shaking his head violently.
During that time, westbound traffic on the bridge was put to an emergency halt so that NYPD Emergency Service Units could gain access.
