A Chasidic man from Williamsburg is being hailed a hero after saving a 52-year-old Asian woman who tried to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday morning.
According to a report by OnlySimchas.com, the incident happened around 9:55AM.
The hero, who has been identified as Shloime Koehn was reportedly on the bridge and witnessed the woman attempt to jump off the bridge so he held her down with the help of other civilians until police arrived. The woman was standing on the edge of the bridge.

Amazing Kiddsh hashem did Mr Kohn from SHEFA APPETIZING Made today!!
I remember for years ago when The company Shefa was Named Shabbos Appetizing and Rabbi Schlesinger from Monsey asked to change the name to Shefa and they made a Kiddsh hashem and changed the name to Shefa Appetizing and rabbi Schlesinger blessed the company should have a “SHEFA” now Kohn from Shefa made another kiddsh hashem for the world to save the life from a non Jewish women
Keep up!!
This is what we are meant to be, good people who are there for others, kol hakavod
I hope she doesn’t sue him.
#1 – it is perfect! It shows him being Boireach Min Hakavod! (Running away from honor.)
#2, what does changing the name of a business have to do with making a kiddish Hashem? In this case, nothing.
