From Santa Monica Close Up:
"On Wednesday, July 4, 2023, at 9:25 am, Santa Monica Police Officers and Santa Monica Firefighters responded to a call regarding a man in distress at the Palisades Bluffs. Witnesses reported that the man had climbed over the fence at Palisades Park and was standing on the edge of the Palisades Bluffs. As a precautionary measure, the Santa Monica Police closed the California Incline for several hours.
Santa Monica Police Department Mental Health clinicians and crisis negotiators engaged in discussions with the distressed man for an extended period, aiming to persuade him to step away from the ledge. Concurrently, firefighters and members of the Police SWAT team equipped themselves with harnesses and ropes, preparing for a potential rescue.
After more than three hours, the SWAT team identified an opportune moment and successfully apprehended the man, pulling him to safety. Subsequently, the individual was transported to the hospital for mental evaluations."
