Rapper T.I. stepped in to help police negotiators trying to talk a man out of jumping to his death from a 22-story Midtown building Wednesday afternoon.

“He came to the scene and offered to talk to him, we told the young man that, and he came down,” Officer James Polite with Atlanta police told the AJC.

Peachtree Street was temporarily blocked off between 14th and 15th streets, and MARTA buses were being re-routed, Officer James Polite with the Atlanta police department said. The street was expected to reopen shortly after 5 p.m., Polite said. Witnesses in nearby buildings reported seeing a man sitting on the edge of the building.

According to AJC’s twitter page, the jumper agreed to come off of the building to meet T.I.

@ajcAJC Yes, it is. He agreed to come down to meet TI. RT @edelvil: @ajc Did TI really talk that boy from jumping off

Neither Tiny or Tip have confirmed Tip’s involvement at this point. Full story here.
