Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss says at one point the man almost fell from the catwalk. He would have plunged about 100 feet to the water below. Eventually officers got the man to surrender. And the bridge was reopened. He was taken into protective custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation.
