Officers Robert Cruz and Frank Grossberger, responding to a call from a motorist, found the Bronx resident walking on the bridge’s lower level toward the Manhattan side just after midnight Tuesday, authority spokeswoman Lenis Rodrigues said.
“He was disoriented and walking alongside the travel lanes, where there is no sidewalk,” she said.
The officers got him to safety and obtained his name and birth date, Rodrigues said.
He also was wearing a medical bracelet with the identity and phone number of his caretaker – who, when contacted, said she didn’t know he was missing, she said.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital, Rodrigues said.
