'Don't Do It. Jesus Loves You': Good Samaritan Stops Man from Committing Suicide after Feeling God Calling Him to Bridge"This happened for a reason. This is not by chance. I can't not share this. Because this is totally God..." -Collin Dozier [Faithwire.com] Collin Dozier was driving home around midnight on a Wednesday in late April when he noticed a car pulled over on a nearby bridge and felt God calling him there.

I know when times are tough, that's the only thing to possibly turn to." After about 20 minutes went by, according to WAVY-TV, police finally showed up. When they arrived, the troubled man flipped to the other side of the bridge's railing, facing the water. The man—who claimed he had a gun—kept threatening to shoot both Dozier and the police officer. But that didn't stop the Good Samaritan, who kept inching closer and closer to the man. "I lunged for it," Dozier said. "I went around his arms, and I pinched my elbows in so his arms wouldn't flail and reach for anything. I stepped up on the railing and I sucked him back and I threw him down on the pavement"...
