PC Lisa Robertson was on her way to enjoy a night at the cinema when she saw a man in a state of distress on the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle.
Despite not being on shift, PC Robertson’s policing instincts immediately kicked in, as she pulled over her car and sprang into action.
The kind-hearted cop immediately struck up a positive rapport with the man in his 40s, keeping him talking while at the same time alerting police and calling for support.
