A team of New York police officers scaled the side of skyscraper to rescue a distraught woman 54-stories in the air, video shows.
The incident occurred on May 1 in Midtown Manhattan, and was captured by one of the intrepid detectives' body cameras.
Footage of the dangerous operation was then shared to the New York Police Department's X page, where officers wrote of how the woman was hoisted to safety, after being found on a ledge outside protective glass meant to keep spectators safe.
The minute-long video tells the story, and how detectives worked together with a system of ropes and pulleys to get the woman on solid ground.
As of writing, it remains unclear if she was suicidal. DailyMail.com has reached out to the NYPD, as well as the ritzy hotel where it is believed to have happened, for comment.

'We're right here! We're not going anywhere!' one of the Emergency Service Unit officers is heard assuring the woman as her and at least six other officers arrived on the scene.
'I got her,' another adds, as the clip cuts to a few minutes later, as they pulled her arm between an open space between the panels of protective glass to help her keep her footing.
'What's your name?' an officer asks her, before propelling himself over the more than five-feet tall partition with a harness and rope.
Her response is censored, but the officers' ensuing words of encouragement are not.
'You alright? We're going to help get you back over this thing,' one is heard telling her, while standing perched on the small ledge more than 500 feet above ground.
'Stand her up. Lift her up, and I want her leg over,' another on the safe side of the glass advises, as two harnessed officers follow his directions.
'Got her?' one asks, as the team carefully pull her over, before letting her fall the few feet to the ground.
A collective sigh of relief from the officers is then heard, with the woman now safe of the building's rooftop. The city skyline is seen in the background throughout the dramatic rescue.

Her name was not immediately released, but DailyMail.com has reached out to the NYPD for comment
It is unknown if the woman was either a patron or a resident of the building, but DailyMail.com has reached out for comment.
It is also unknown whether or not the woman was suicidal, but cops shared a statement that indicated she may have been.
'If you, or someone you know are experiencing a crisis, know that you are not alone,' the NYPD wrote in an ensuing tweet.
'Help is available, and you have options.'
