He had driven from the Brooklyn side of the bridge around 12:30 p.m. and ditched his car midway over the span, authorities said.


He then climbed over the railing and leaped off the bridge, cops said.


Members of the NYPD’s harbor unit found him unconscious and unresponsive when they pulled him from the water, but managed to resuscitate him, police said.
