Traffic stops so strangers can help man hanging from overpass
Traffic came to a halt Sunday morning as drivers stopped to help a man seen in a video dangling from the side of a Houston overpass.
Two deputies with the Harris County Sheriff's Office pulled the man to safety, according to KTRK. It was unclear if the man had leaned over the railing and slipped or was trying to harm himself. His condition is unknown.
One of the deputies sustained a minor injury, officials said.
Heroic work here to save this man’s life - good outcome. @HCSOTexas Deputy’s Cruz & Leal were able to pull this man to safety. Deputy Leal sustained a minor injury, but is good. #hounews #lesm RT @abc13houston: https://t.co/1DUT6yfKjD
