A pair of Texas cops came to a distraught woman’s rescue and managed to save her life.
The duo had moments to act as the woman teetered on the brink of an overpass, threatening to jump into traffic below.
Just as officers, Justin Henry and Trae Cierzan pulled up to the scene, they found the woman getting out of her car only to stand up on the ledge.

The woman appeared to be distraught and said that people wished she was dead
‘Don’t do it!’ both police officers yell at her.
‘No!’ she responds. ‘Leave me alone!’
‘Come on!’ the officer says. ‘Get down! What’s your name?’
‘It doesn’t matter,’ the woman says sobbing – hovering dangerously on the edge. ‘Just take care of my dogs!’
‘My name’s Justin,’ the officer says as he tries to reassure her and offer a friendly hand.
‘I don’t care! Everyone wants me dead, so I’ll just die,’ the woman responded through tears.
All the while, both police officers edged ever-closer to the woman.
Dash-cam footage captures video of both men walking towards her while body-cam film shows just hos close to the edge the woman was as she stood on the concrete ledge.

Finally, they decide to make a grab for her and pull her down off the barrier.
They then walk her to the squad car and tell her they’re going to get her some help.
‘What’s your name? What’s going on?’ the officers ask as they place the woman in handcuffs for her own good.
They tell her that she will be taken to hospital where she will be able to speak with someone about her problems.

The woman appears to be in a truly tormented state as she tells the officers that nobody cares about her and the people want her to die.
‘My name’s Justin and this here, is Trae, and we don’t want you to die,’ says the officer. ”Whatever’s going on is not worth it. We’re here for you, OK?’
The footage is both terrifying and reassuring as it shows the police officers maintain their cool, calm and collected manner throughout managing to bring the woman back down to safety where she could receive some proper care and attention.
