Four Flagler County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) Deputies prevented a man whose name was not identified who wanted to jump off to Interstate 95 on State Road 100 on Tuesday March 18.
The four FCSO deputies were able to convince the man who wanted to jump off of the overpass to seek help from a mental health professional.
The man who tried to end his life is homeless and has a history of needing help from a mental health doctor in the past.
The four police officers were recently honored by their superiors last week for their actions of saving the life of someone who was crying for help.

It is so sad about these people. And getting them mental health care doesn't always work. They can get off the street, get on meds, and all of the above, yet may end up back on the street. They need family or someone to check up on them and make sure they are taking care of themselves. They can't do it alone.

I feel terribly sad about people who chooses to end their lives. Mental health is really a big issue nowadays since the fast-paced life and technology causes some people to feel depressed.
I hope the man finds peace in his heart and be able to prioritize his mental health by seeking medical help to professionals.
Kudos to the police officers!
