WEST TOWN — Emergency responders brought a "middle-aged inebriated man" to safety after he threatened to jump from a highway overpass at Milwaukee Avenue and Augusta Avenue, a Fire Department official said.

Responders blocked cars on the overpass as they went to help the man, but traffic has since been reopened in both directions, according to ABC7.
