Abu Dhabi - She tried to jump off a bridge.

A Canadian expat has been honoured for saving the life of a woman who was about to jump off a bridge in the Capital.

"We appreciate the role of the Canadian woman and her good conduct in helping the woman and for quickly informing the police about the incident," said Brigadier-General Mohammad Suhail Al Rashdi, director of Criminal Security at the Abu Dhabi Police.
He noted that the Abu Dhabi Police are keen on recognising members of the community for their positive roles and contributions to the society.
