A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said: “Crews stood by whilst police officers assisted in bringing the female off the bridge.

“The female was left in the care of police officers.”

A witness told YorkMix: “Police talked to her for about 45 minutes and eventually convinced her to offer her hand and promptly pulled her to safety.

“Fire, police and fire river rescue all in attendance – a good job all round.”
