On November 26th, 2019 members of the Medicine Hat Police Service responded to a report of a male in crisis who had recently left the hospital and was located threatening to jump off the TransCanada Highway bridge. Vehicular traffic on the highway was closed as members attempted to negotiate the male off of the of the structure. The extremely agitated male was eventually taken into custody, after nearly jumping several times, and returned back to the hospital. Th MHPS would like to thank the public for their patience as traffic was closed for a period of time.
