New York City, the NYPD releasing new images of terrifying moments on the Brooklyn Bridge, saving a woman climbing the support cables clearly in distress, and what the NYPD did to save her. Here's our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katersky. >> This is the moment one of New York City's finest came face-to-face with a woman precariously perched on the Brooklyn Bridge high above the East River. >> My name is Chris. What's your name? >> The woman had been seen walking the suspension cables before sitting, legs

dangling. Horrified pedestrians watched helplessly below while traffic between Manhattan and Brooklyn stopped. Officers from the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit locked their carabiners and began their ascent. Listen to how they tried to talk her down. >> It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It really is. >> They stayed with her nearly an hour as the sun set. >> Don't do it. Don't do it, please. Please. Please. I got you. >> You can't be up here. >> The officers are from the same highly

trained unit that arrested those two urban climbers who unfurled a banner on top of the Empire State Building just last week. >> The woman here at the Brooklyn Bridge was not arrested or charged, and David, the officer you heard talking her down, Chris, had just graduated, the NYPD said, from specialized training last week. >> If you or someone you know are experiencing mental health issues or thinking about suicide, you can call or text the National Lifeline at 988. David, that new officer doing incredible

work. Aaron, thank you.
