A harrowing video shared online by the New York City Police Department shows officers going above and beyond to assist a woman who was dangling on the side of a skyscraper on May 1.
Officers with the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit were dispatched to the call, according to a time stamp on a clip shared on the department’s X account.
“When the public needs help, they call the police. When the police need help, they call ESU,” the NYPD said of last week’s scare atop a massive building.
The department added, “ ESU detectives recently saved a distraught woman on a rooftop 54-stories up using their rope rescue skills.”
The video shows a number of officers comforting the woman as they worked to bring her to safety.

Not only did those who responded save the woman’s life, but the officers spoke to her with compassion — one of them while dangling from a safety rope.
“We’re right here, okay?” a female officer told the stressed women. “We’re not going anywhere.”
Should police officers be paid more?
A male officer with a safety harness also spoke to the woman in a gentle tone, asking her what her name was and explaining to her that he would bring her to safety.
The woman’s face was blurred out and her name was edited out of the clip.
But when she was brought to safety an officer explained, “I got her!”
The NYPD did not offer a lot of context to the video, other than to suggest in a separate X post that the woman might have planned to jump from the skyscraper.
“If you, or someone you know are experiencing a crisis, know that you are not alone,” the NYPD wrote. “Help is available, and you have options.”

The department did not identify the building, but the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported it was located in Midtown Manhattan.
The NYPD is sadly no stranger to calls about people jumping from city skyscrapers.
A number of people have made headlines for taking their own lives by jumping from New York City buildings.
In July of last year, three separate men ended their lives in the same way in a 24-hour period, the New York Post reported.
Each of the men was over the age of 60.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.
Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.
And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.
The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.
We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.
But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.
The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?
With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
Thank you for reading,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
