A Boston cop is being hailed as a hero after he caught a distraught woman as she fell from the roof of a house in Dorchester on Wednesday morning. Officer Robert Robichaud was one of several B-3 police officers who were called to Wilbert Road at 3:45 on Wednesday morning for a report of a person on the roof who was threatening to jump.

When the woman fell, Robichaud was positioned on the stairs of the house and literally caught her, according to BPD spokesperson Elaine Driscoll. Both Officer Robichaud and the woman were rushed to the hospital, but both sustained only minor injuries.
