The group of strangers immediately rushed to grab him through the bars so he wouldn’t be able to jump. The passersby aren't believed to have known each other before the event.

As emergency services were called to the scene, the heroic members of the public remained with the man for two hours.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police confirmed the man had been detained under the Mental Health Act.
