Life-saving cop honored at City Hall
A cop who saved a despondent man from jumping off the Verrazano Bridge was honored for his heroics by the City Council on Sept. 12.
Police Officer Yi Huang received a proclamation from Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge) during a ceremony at City Hall. Council Speaker Christine Quinn also attended the ceremony.
Huang used his native Cantonese to communicate with the non-English speaking distraught man, according to police, who said the man was threatening to jump to his death.
