On 25 July 2026, a 21‑year‑old man on a tram‑line bridge in Brno was stopped by two female city guards. They talked with him, restrained his arms, guided him to a safety zone and escorted him to psychiatric care. A week later, on 31 July 2026, police officers in the Týn nad Vltavou district intervened on the Duha bridge in Bechyně, leaping from a vehicle to pull a drunken young man away from the rail and handing him to emergency responders. Both cases highlight the active role of Czech first‑responders in preventing suicides on bridges and the promotion of free crisis helplines (116 123, 116 111).
