MIRI: A man, believed to be middle aged, was spotted sitting on the edge of a bridge near Jalan Miri-Pujut here around 1pm yesterday.

His bizarre behaviour stunned several road users and members of the public.

A Good Samaritan bravely approached the man and helped him back to safety, avoiding any untoward incident.

According to the Good Samaritan who wished to be known as Lee, he spotted the man sitting precariously on the edge of the bridge that afternoon and he was concerned for his safety.

“I approached the man, and had tried to converse with him but he seemed to be unaware of his situation and just nodded his head at me,” said Lee.

After several minutes interacting using gestures, the man finally got up and stepped away from the edge before walking away.

As at press time, the motive behind the incident was not known.
