He's not just a legendary rock star, Jon Bon Jovi is a bona fide hero literally helping a distraught woman off the ledge of a bridge.

According to the Good News Movement Instagram page, Jon and his team were in Nashville, Tennessee shooting a music video.

It was Bon Jovi himself that noticed the woman on the other side of the railing and barrier standing on the ledge above the Cumberland River.

The Nashville Police Department arrived shortly after the woman was safe according to Chief John Drake.

A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety. "It takes all of us to help keep each other safe.

According to WKRN-TV, it happened on Tuesday, September 10. The 36-year-old woman was thinking of jumping into the river below and surveillance video from a camera on the bridge shows several people simply walking by the woman.

However Jon and his film crew jumped into action and approached her.

While Jon's crew stayed back a bit, Bon Jovi himself waved to her as he walked right up to her and started chatting with her. Then Jon slowly pulled her back over the railing, embracing her, and walking away from the ledge while continuing to comfort her.

She was taken to a hospital for observation according to the Nashville Police.
