A substantial number of people gathered as Gadsden Police Officers spent the better part of two hours attempting to talk a man down from a ledge near Noccalula Falls on Saturday.  According to eyewitnesses the man had climbed over a fence and out near the falls from the campground side of the park.

Police kept bystanders at a distance during their conversation with the unnamed individual and it’s unclear what the issue was.  Finally, the man agreed to climb back over the fence and was taken away in an ambulance.  Afterwards officers inspected a car at the scene which apparently belonged to the man they had been speaking with.

No additional information regarding the incident has yet been released.
