Police would like to issue a citation to 92- year-old George Kouloheras of Lowell, Mass., for wrestling with a man on a bridge. They don't want to punish him, though ― they actually want to reward him. On his way to the grocery store, Kouloheras noticed a man straddling the railing on the edge of a bridge. Worried the man might be suicidal, Kouloheras stopped his car and, with the help of a passing motorist, was able to wrestle the drunken homeless man to the ground. When the would-be jumper began to struggle, Kouloheras sat on him while he waited for police to arrive. During that time, Kouloheras asked the man why he wanted to jump. The man answered, "God wants me to die," but Kouloheras wasn't buying it. "Everyone has a purpose in life," he told the man. "You just have to find yours. Then you'll get to be as old as me."
