An Interstate 30 ramp was closed for a while Thursday morning due to a suicide attempt on the bridge, Fort Worth police said.
A passerby called 911 shortly after 7:30 a.m. and reported a man looking over the bridge. The caller was concerned the man was going to jump, according to the police incident report.
Eastbound I-30 was closed at I-35 West and the westbound I-30 ramp to southbound I-35W also was closed while police investigated, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
A police spokesperson told the Star-Telegram in an email around 8:45 a.m. that the man was safely taken into police custody and they were opening all lanes of traffic.
