SPRINGFIELD — At approximately 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11, officers responded to the Memorial Bridge for an immediate assist.
Dispatchers received several calls about a female attempting to jump off the bridge.
The juvenile female climbed over the railing and nearly a dozen people stopped their cars and attempted to help her.
Officers quickly arrived and while some civilians held onto the teenager, an officer was able to pull her over the ledge safely onto the sidewalk.
She was then transported to Baystate Medical Center for evaluation.
