Police in Delta haven't said if any charges are possible against onlookers who interfered with officers trying to calm a distraught man and convince him not to jump from the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Police say some drivers who were stopped by the crisis walked up the bridge deck, interfered with the negotiations and videotaped or photographed the man, while others honked and shouted at him to ``take action.''

Another motorist drove around emergency vehicles that were halting traffic and another weaved past the barricades and was found to be impaired.

Police Chief Neil Dubord says the man in crisis was eventually coaxed to safety and was given medical attention.
