Recently released footage from police body cameras shows the nerve-grinding moment when two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers desperately try to coax a man down as he hangs from a city bridge.

The incident that lasted 40 minutes probably felt much longer, as the situation seemed to teeter between life and death, with officers pleading for the former and fighting back the latter for the man’s sake.
