Talk about an act of kindness, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his officials talked a man out of committing suicide. The man threatened to kill himself as he climbed over the railing on the Bosphorus bridge which links Europe and Asia together.
The Presidents motorcycle happened to be crossing the bridge when his officials saw the man. The man spoke briefly with the president after he was pulled to safety by a group of men. The men escorted him to the presidents car where he is seen in the video briefly speaking with the president who was on the phone. The man was going through a lot of problems with his family. He was suffering from depression. Police say they were trying to get the man down from the bridge for about two hours. The president promised the man help. We’re glad that the president and his men were able to save this mans life. Although he could have got off the phone to speak with the man. At least as a sign of respect!
