Suicidal male pulled to safety after 'dangling' from bridge over Chehalis River in Centralia 
A suicidal male was pulled to safety after “dangling over the water” from the Mellen Street bridge over the Chehalis River in Centralia on Thursday night, according to the Centralia Police Department. Officers responded to the bridge at about 6:53 p.m. after receiving reports that a male subject was hanging on the bridge rail over the river, according to a news release. “Several Centralia police officers arrived and began talking to the subject, who was clearly in crisis and making suicidal statements,” the release stated. “The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Swift Water Rescue Team, Riverside Fire Authority and Chehalis Fire Department were called to assist, as the Centralia police officers had no safe way of contacting the subject, who had maneuvered to a plank underneath the bridge.” Members of the Riverside Fire Authority were able to pull the male to safety after talking to him for several minutes, the release stated. “The Centralia Police Department would like to extend our gratitude to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, Riverside Fire Authority and Chehalis Fire Department for their collaborative efforts and prompt response to this event,” police stated in the release. |
