BALTIMORE - Newly released body camera footage shows the moment a construction worker was pulled to land after the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.

In the video obtained by our media partner The Baltimore Banner, officers are seen helping Julio Cervantes Suarez onto the dock and then walking toward land, occasionally stopping and grabbing the railing.

Eight construction workers were on the bridge when the massive cargo ship Dali lost power and hit a critical span of the bridge, causing it to collapse.
