Man clung to woman's hand for an hour to stop her jumping from M4 bridge

A rugby player clung on to a woman for more than an hour after she threatened to jump off a bridge.
Heroic Michael Owen held the woman's hand as he tried to stop her plunging onto a busy motorway.

 
Brave act: Michael and girlfriend Jemma
The brave 22-year-old was travelling with girlfriend Jemma when they noticed the distressed woman standing on the edge of a bridge near Chippenham, Wilts.
The woman had jumped over the bridge's safety railings and was facing the busy M4 motorway below.

The 6ft 5ins bouncer said: "We were driving over the bridge when my partner pointed out a woman standing on the other side of the bridge.

"I immediately pulled over to try and slow down the traffic and to help her.
"I got to her and started talking to her. She was clearly very upset, so I just talked about anything I could think of with her."
Michael said the "clearly upset" woman immediately seemed to calm down after hearing his broad Welsh accent.
He made sure he held on to her hand to make sure she didn't slip, despite having broken his playing rugby
