A search for a woman who was allegedly suicidal drew the Philadelphia Police Department’s TacAir helicopter to Levittown.

Residents in the Holly Hill, Red Cedar and Oaktree neighborhoods in Bristol Township looked to the sky Thursday evening as TacAir circled a few hundred feet in the air and worked with officers to the ground to search for the woman. Lt. Ralph Johnson and a Philadelphia aviation officer confirmed the woman was located safety.

Neighbors said they saw police searching street by street and even spotted officers and detectives checking in back yards for the woman.

The helicopter was reportedly over the area for more than an hour.
