Update:

What started as a fist fight between two men, ended with one of them jumping off of a bridge early Friday morning.

According to Mass Live, a fight broke out between two men on top of the Beades Bridge  on Morrissey Blvd. When the BPD arrived, one of the men jumped into Dorchester Bay.

After searching for several hours, police and fire rescue crews discovered the man had safely swam to shore and was currently at work in Norwell.

“Eventually, the state police were able to contact the gentleman we were looking for,” Acting Deputy Chief Erik Pettaway said in a video by a Boston 25 news reporter. “He had gone in the water, got out, went home and went to work. So he’s presently at work.”

Evidently, Massachusetts State Police had spoken to the man’s friends and contacted him at his workplace.

Good grief!
