Here's what went down ... the "It's My Life" singer was filming a music video for his song "People's House" on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Music City around 6 PM, when JBJ noticed a woman in need of help.
The woman in question appeared to be gearing up to jump off the famed bridge -- but Bon Jovi then approached her and spoke to her, convincing her not to end her life.
The legendary rocker encountered the woman around 6 p.m. local time as he was filming a music video for his song “People’s House” on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
In surveillance video shared on X by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer can be seen approaching the woman as she appears about to jump.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Bon Jovi routinely deals with people in crisis from hunger to homelessness, among other issues, through his work with his foundation, the JBJ SOUL FOUNDATION. He has extensive training in speaking with individuals experiencing a crisis ... but he did what anyone would have done in that situation.

Bon Jovi even helped pull the woman over the side of the railing, with assistance from another bystander ... who also appeared to be talking to the woman.
Shortly after, Bon Jovi and the fellow good samaritan helped pull the woman over the railing and away from danger.
After the woman was back on the pedestrian path, she and Bon Jovi hugged.
The bridge was completely open to the public when Bon Jovi was filming the video, and the incident subsequently occurred.
