Atlanta:
Police got unexpected help talking a suicidal man down from an Atlanta skyscraper on Wednesday when rapper TI showed up.
Officer James Polite says the hip-hop star joined the crowd outside the 22-story office building in midtown Wednesday and told officers he wanted to help. Police said the man agreed to come down in exchange for a few minutes face-to-face with TI, whose real name is Clifford Harris.
TI said he heard about the situation on the radio and drove to the building to help. He recorded a video of himself on a cell phone and rescue workers took it to the man to prove the rapper was really there.
The Atlanta native said the man seemed to be "beat up by life."
The suicidal man, whose name wasn't released, was taken to a hospital.
