- In late April, CollinDozier was driving home

around midnight when he noticed a car

on the Lesner Bridgelocated right behind me.

He said he felt compelled by God

to investigate what washappening with its driver.

- I figured he wasn't evenreally near his car that much.

So, I just felt theHoly Spirit speak to me

and tell me to go up there.

- [Charlene] The man hadgotten out of his car

to jump from the bridge.

- At that point, I ended up,

hey man, don't do it, Jesus loves you.

He's got a plan for your life.

- [Charlene] Dozier, a devout Christian,

says while the man, whose name is Jacob,

didn't respond, that didn't stop him

from talking and at times sharing

his own personal testimony.

- I did what, the only thing I know

to do in a situation like that

and that's to pray and I was like,

Lord Jesus, speak to this man.

I pray right now you open up his eyes

and show him your love.

- [Charlene] Dozier says

when police arrived, things escalated.

- And he said, "Leave me alone.

"I have a gun, I gonna kill you both."

- [Charlene] Still,Dozier, a former wrestler,

inched closer to the man, who by now

was rocking back and forthon the bridge's railing.

Dozier then made his move.

- I went over top of his arms.

I pinched my elbows in so I knew

that he couldn't reach for anything.

I stepped up on the railingand I sucked him back

and I picked him up and Ithrew him down on the pavement.

And at that point, the police officers

jumped over the roadside railing

and were able to apprehend him.

- May we present you.

- [Charlene] The city of Virginia Beach

recognized Dozier's heroic actions

by honoring him with its Lifesaving Award.

- I really believe that the good Lord

puts his hands on our shoulders at times

to do great things like this.

And this is an individualwho put his own life

at risk to save another.

- [Charlene] Dozier hassince stayed connected

to the man, who on the nightof his attempted suicide,

had been high on meth,PCP, heroin and cocaine.

He has since become a Christian

and now attends Dozier's church

and plans to be baptized.

- He said, "The fact of thelove that you showed me,"

it blew his mind to a point that he said,

"I want that."

He said, "I want that love."

And so, I just just told him the scripture

and I said, if you'd be willing, I'd love

to pray this prayer with you.

And he said, "Absolutely."

And he accepted Jesus in his heart.

- [Charlene] Meanwhile, Dozier says

other hurting peoplehave reached out to him

and at least one has come to Christ.

While many are calling Dozier a hero,

he's quick to give the credit to the one

who saved a soul, in more ways than one.

- I absolutely, give all the glory to God.

There's no doubt.

You can't make this stuff up.

This is all God incident.
