Alexandria, Virginia – A tiny kitten, just four and six weeks of age, was rescued after being tossed out of a moving vehicle on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. According to the Maryland National Capital Park Police, a good Samaritan saw the frightening situation and was able to flag down an officer in the area.
As reported by Fox 5 News, Maryland National Capitol Park Police Corporal Christi Montgomery was able to coax the kitten off a narrow ledge with the help of some enticing cat food. Montgomery commented on the harrowing situation the kitten was facing, “Three feet different, it never would have lived,” she said. “It would have gone into the river. He was so scared. I was scared, but he’s ok.”
The kitten was taken to Prince George’s County Animal Shelter for care.
This case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police at PGPPCrimeTips@mncppc.org.

I do have to say thank you to the cop who helped save the kitten. Normally they don’t do anything extra as it might wrinkle their uniform. I hope he gets an award for going beyond his normal duty to save this kitten.
Find the sick creep who did this and kill him!
Thanks to everyone who helped save this kitten! Not an easy rescue, and yet they made it happen.
Yes, no cameras on the bridge/ the man who reported it might remember details on the car, plate??
I pray you find the piece of filth that threw this kitten out of the moving car. Thank God they had bad aim and the kitten was able to land on the railing instead of over the edge into the water!!! Once found I hope this trash human is dumped in the middle of a deep lake/river…..we don’t need any more morons in our society who are too lazy and cruel to take an unwanted animal to a humane society/rescue instead of dumping hoping for death. Well, I hope for death for them!!! Thank you to the angel who saw and had this precious life rescued.
Throw him off a bridge from a moving trusted! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

with all the cameras everywhere it seems they are never put to good use catching pieces of shit like this….
Exactly, a camera must have caught a license plate, at least 😖
Agreed!!
Thank you to the good Samaritan that was able to rescue this poor precious kitten! I hope somebody will turn in the worthless piece of shit that did this. You couldn’t be bothered to do the right thing. All life is precious, except for people like you.! Rot in hell!
