Trooper Andrew Carter responded and said when he got out of the cruiser, the man tried to leap over the bridge railing. Matthew Ferreira of Cranston and Timothy Banks of Portsmouth saw the incident and got out of their cars to help police.  The trooper, along with Ferreira and Banks, pulled the man back over the railing, saving his life.
