The bridge, which was temporarily closed during the incident, has opened again to traffic in both directions, easing the afternoon commute for Portland residents, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
Portland Police were at the scene assisting the man, who had been on the wrong side of the bridge's railing when the officers arrived, and after a period of negotiation and assurance they were able to coax him back to safety, the situation ended without injury and the man was transported to a local hospital for an evaluation, the purpose of the evaluation was to understand his state of mental health and to ensure that he will receive the appropriate care and support he needs, as per the Portland Police Bureau.
