Australian politican saves would-be suicide.

From News.com.au:

FORMER Victorian premier Steve Bracks and his wife Terry saved a man seconds before he was about to jump from the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne.

"Terry and I did what any other Victorian would have done and helped another person in trouble," Mr Bracks said yesterday.

The Bracks were returning home on Thursday night when they saw a large man "standing on the railings obviously looking as though he was about to throw himself off".

Mr Bracks and two other men - one of them an off-duty police officer - pulled him to safety.
