SAN FRANCISCO–

A California Highway Patrol officer is credited with helping save a woman’s life Tuesday evening.

According to the CHP, Officers Maya and Ribergaard responded to a report of a woman sitting on the edge of the eastern span – seemingly ready to jump.

Maya and Ribergaard both tried to talk to the woman to no avail, officials said.

Eventually, officers say Maya – a Crisis Intervention Trained officer – tied himself to the bridge railing and climbed over to the woman to talk to her some more. He was able to convince the woman to come back from the edge.

She was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation.
