Subject jumped from Valley Street Bridge:

On Friday, May 6, 2016 at approximately 11:55 PM a citizen walked into the Cumberland Police Department and stated her husband had jumped from the Valley Street Bridge into the flood control project.  Officers responded to the scene but were unable to locate the subject in the water below.  Officers then began searching other areas downstream from the Valley Street Bridge.  Officers were able to locate the subject walking in the area of the railroad tracks behind the Canal Place.  The subject was cold and wet and admitted to jumping into the flood control project.  The subject was transported to the Western Maryland Health System by the Cumberland Fire Department for evaluation and treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
