Former WWE star and son of The British Bulldog saves woman who was standing on edge of a bridge
Harry Smith, known as David Hart Smith during his time in WWE in the late 2000s, says he used his wrestling skills to stop the women from jumping
THE BRITISH BULLDOG'S son and former WWE star has used his wrestling training to help save a woman who was standing on the edge of a bridge.
Harry Smith, who wrestled under the ring name David Hart Smith during his time with WWE in the late 2000s, took to Twitter to tell the story.
The Canadian was driving through Calgary when he spotted the woman in distress on the bridge.
Smith — who now wrestles as Davey Boy Smith Jr — said: “I saved a life today and I am grateful I was able to do so.
“When driving up 16th Avenue past Bowness Road in Calgary I saw a girl crying and hanging off the bridge with someone trying to talk to her.
“I stopped and jumped the barricade and tried talking to the girl.

"And she was crying and an emotional mess and threatening to jump if I got closer.
“With people on the round waving her not to jump I decided to grab a hold of her and not take any chances.
"She started to slide and want to go more as I grabbed a hold (of) her.
“Luckily (from) my years of grappling and self defence I knew to grab her HARD and how to pull her up from hanging off and jumping ... I knew not to grab her clothing because she would have ripped through it.

“When I yanked her off the bridge finally, I established the mount position as you do in grappling and did not let her budge.”
“Life is a precious thing folks, never take it for granted.
“I’m glad I was at service to help somebody today and my years of grappling came into play.”
Smith then held down the woman and looked after her until police arrived.
