Cops arrived at the scene and engaged in heated dialogue with the man, who received them by giving them the middle finger. Eventually, officers were able to save the man and put him in custody after a very long hour.
The barefoot jumper was able to climb up the Brooklyn Bridge and threatened officers to "jump off and kill himself..." Officers began to talk to him and reason him out of his trance, but he was not receptive at all.
In an extremely dangerous stunt, the unidentified man hanged from underneath the bridge with his hands. He was 100 feet above the East River, and he stayed in that position for 20 seconds.
Witnesses described the man as agitated as he shook his head, flailed his hands, and screamed at the police officers who were trying to save him.
