德国法兰克福警方8日表示，一对情侣近日为观赏日出景色爬上了一座吊桥，但过往行人误以为他们打算在桥上实施自杀，而引发了一场救援行动。
据路透社5月8日报道， 这座吊桥坐落在距离法兰克福市不远的美因河畔。一位司机在看到有一个男人站在桥的顶端时立即报了警。他以为，这位现年25岁的年轻人肯定是打算在此结束自己的生命。警方在获知此消息后，马上派出数辆警车、消防车，以及一艘配备有多名潜水员的警用快艇迅速赶往现场。
当地警方发言人弗朗兹·温克勒说：“这个男人和他的女朋友从桥上爬了下来，并且不好意思地表示，他们其实只不过是想在桥上看看日出而已。”“这次救援行动所花的费用看上去可能要由他俩来支付了。”消防队员们已经开出了1600欧元的“救援”帐单，而警方的具体花费目前仍在计算之中。
A couple who climbed a suspension bridge in Germany to watch the sunrise sparked a major rescue operation when passers-by mistook their stunt for a suicide bid, police said on Monday.
A driver called police after seeing a man sitting on top of the road bridge on the Main river near Frankfurt, and thought the 25-year-old planned to kill himself.
Squad cars, fire engines and a police speedboat with divers rushed to the scene.
"The man and his girlfriend climbed down from the bridge and said sheepishly they had just wanted to watch the sun come up," police spokesman Franz Winkler said. "It looks like they may have to foot the bill for it."
Firefighters put their "rescue" bill at 1,600 euros (1,095 pounds). Police are still counting, he added.
