|Updated:

A first-year police officer is credited with saving the life of a 12-year-old girl who was intending to jump off a bridge in Pasadena, California.

The girl was clinging to a bridge when rookie cop Chris Perez saw her during a routine patrol.

I literally didn't even start talking to her until I made it to the sidewalk and just asked her what was happening, what was going on.
