Saving the desperate at suicide hotspot

Putting her backpack down, she climbed over the fence and jumped into the rushing waters of the Danube below: the 16 year-old girl was the 29th attempted suicide to be saved by Renato Grbic, a Belgrade fisherman and restaurant owner.

On that October day "she was lucky that I was nearby with a friend to pull her out," said her rescuer, an athletic 55-year-old.

"I was sitting in my taverna when a neighbor ran in and said someone had jumped from the bridge. So I took my boat ... I pulled her out," Grbic said.
