Syracuse fire fighters over the weekend rescued a woman threatening to jump from the Hiawatha Boulevard bridge that runs over Interstate 81.
Good Samaritans attempted to hold onto the woman, and by the time firefighters arrived she was standing on the outside of a chain-link fence. They were able to wrap a utility rope around her waist and then securely pull her to safety.
