Newly released body camera video shows the moment when Albuquerque police officers grabbed a woman as she attempted to jump off of a bridge Tuesday.

The video shows Officer Brandi Madrid speaking to the woman, who officials say was contemplating suicide on the Paseo Del Norte overpass near Jefferson, according to KOAT-TV.

As Madrid tries to talk the woman off the ledge to get her help, the woman suddenly bolts and tries to jump.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Come on come on! Stay still! It's OK! It's OK!" Officer John Cervantes is heard saying to the woman as he grabs and pulls her to safety.

Just two days earlier, Madrid was involved in a similar situation as a man threaten to jump off the overpass at Wyoming onto Interstate I-40. She spoke with the man and convinced him to climb back over the fence to safety.
