Apparently Drake stepped up to offer a man help during a police incident

Drake the good samaritan.

What's Drake up to, this week? You'd be surprised.

Apparently, during a visit to Manchester in the U.K. on Sunday night, Drake's tour bus encountered a roadblock caused by a man threatening to jump off a bridge.

Rather than waiting in traffic with his entourage, Drake decided to do something a little unusual. He offered to help.

According to The Manchester Evening News, Drake and his mates were on their way back from a sold-out gig at Manchester Arena when it happened.

"One officer was approached by a male from a tour van caught up in the traffic congestion, claiming to be part of Drake's entourage," Police Inspector Phil Spurgeon reportedly told the publication.

"He offered for [him] to speak to the male on the bridge, if that would help."

The offer was declined, however, and the man was eventually talked down by the authorities via non-Drake means and moved to intensive care. Thank goodness for that.

Nonetheless, it seems to have been a surprisingly touching gesture from the superstar rapper. Just another reason to adore Drake. If you want to talk to someone or are experiencing suicidal thoughts, text the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. For international resources, this list is a good place to start.
