Giant red umbrella triggers 911 call to the NYPD to stop a woman dressed in a 'Handmaid's Tale' costume from jumping off a building

Well, they do say “if you see something, say something.” In this case, the “something” turned out to be a giant red umbrella and not a woman dressed up as a character from the “Handmaid’s Tale” getting ready to jump off a building in New York City.

Today I thought I saw a woman dressed as a handmaid about to jump from a building. I called 911. pic.twitter.com/EIrz6wR0bz

Oh, it gets better. The NYPD News Twitter account responded to the photo with a message saying never be hesitant to call 911 and “Blessed be the umbrella,” channeling the show:

Blessed be the umbrella. Thank you Casey and the @POPSUGAR team for alerting us to this crime, glad we could save the day.

Jokes aside, if you’re ever hesitant about calling 911 – don’t be! We take all calls seriously, and worse case we get to go home with a great story. https://t.co/PJLNw9Gx0P
