Police officer handcuff himself to save suicidal woman.

This is the heart-stopping moment a police office saved the life of a suicidal woman by handcuffing himself to her and throwing away the key.

The desperate woman had climbed to the top of a bill board on a concrete wall in Beijing, China.

But her plight quickly attracted the attention of bystanders and police arrived to try and talk her down.

As the woman hung from the ledge the officer put the metal cuff across his wrist and the connected it to the woman.

And in a determined bid to make sure she realised he was serious about saving her, he then threw the key over the ledge so they could not be separated.

People are going through so much but suicide is never the solution. Thank God for this brave officer.

Can you imagine, she tried to block away the pain and noise by listening to music.
