A trio have told of the moment they saved a man from plunging 100ft from Newton Cap Viaduct as they call for greater safety measures to be installed on bridges.
Paul Aldsworth and his son Oscar Eckley-Aldsworth were travelling over the viaduct near Bishop Auckland on Saturday when they witnessed a man climb onto the other side of the bridge which crosses the River Wear.
Believing that he was about to jump from the viaduct, the pair immediately rushed to the man's rescue and managed to grab his arms as the man let go of the railings.
