A Menominee, Michigan teenager is being called a life-saving hero after preventing a woman from jumping off a bridge.

Brennan Bardowski was driving home when he saw a woman climbing over the rail of the Hattie Street Bridge.

He turned the car around and approached her with caution, offering a string of comforting words asking her to come back over the barrier.

"There will be a lot of people devastated if you do this," he told her. "I was like, ‘Why don't you come on over?' and I just kept comforting her like that."
