An NYPD officer broke down in tears after spending nearly 40 emotional minutes on a Riverside Drive overpass, talking down a suicidal man.

"I've been in your shoes, brother, and there are solutions. There is a way to ensure you get out of this situation." "I believe that you're a good man. You're a good man and I promise you, brother, I promise you, we will do anything in our power to help you," he said. "Please listen to me."Fayette and Officer Eleodoro Mata pleaded with the man for nearly 40 minutes on Oct. 5 until Emergency Service Unit officers grabbed him and pulled him to safety.Fayette immediately broke down in tears following the rescue. Two other NYPD officers came over to comfort him.
