Wallo267 Talks 'Blessing' of Saving Suicidal Man From Jumping Off Bridge
The podcast host convinced the man not to jump from a bridge in Philadelphia.
Wallo267 recounted the "blessing" of talking a man off the ledge in Philadelphia earlier this month.
The Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-host spoke to the man, who attempted to jump off a bridge, and talked him out of going through with suicide. A clip from the moment was posted by Wallo's cousin and fellow Million Dollaz host, Gillie da Kid.
But this week, Wallo caught up with TMZ in Beverly Hills and detailed what caused him to help the suicidal man.
"I was driving, I just came from the airport in Philadelphia. And in the process of me driving, I seen a brother right there, two police officers was there," Wallo told the TMZ reporter.
While Wallo didn’t know what was going on, he immediately got out of his car when he noticed that the man was about to jump.
"He was going through a lot of depression. A lot of family issues, lost his mother, niece, just a lot," Wallo explained. "Just totaled a car. … I had a chance to get up close on him, called some of his family members, got him on a FaceTime. We was able to help him come down, so it was a blessing. He was going through a lot."
While the police were trying to assist the man, Wallo explained that they didn’t seem to know how to connect with the man. "I think sometimes when you’ve got the complexion for connection and you see your people in the community … There’s some support there."
Wallo spoke to the man’s family afterwards and advised that those with mental health issues “find somebody to talk to.”
"I think finding people to talk to and getting the right help, I think that’s the best thing you can do," Wallo said.
Aside from his podcast work, Wallo is a motivational speaker, a role he took seriously after spending twenty years in prison.
