The Tay Road Bridge was closed twice in the space of several hours on Monday morning due to concerns for a man.
Police were first called at about 1.50am following reports of a 35-year-old man on the crossing.
He was traced safely and officers put him in touch with local mental health services.
However police were called back at 4.50am after a man, believed to be the same individual, returned to the crossing and sparked further concerns for his welfare.
He was arrested and taken into the care of mental health professionals.
