On the evening of Sunday, August 7, police in Guangzhou's Liwan District received a startling report: a man was threatening to jump from the fourth floor of Liwan Plaza North Tower.
Emergency response personnel arrived quickly, and firefighters on the scene deployed a giant, pillow-like cushion to prevent the suicidal man from serious harm.
Despite pleas from responders, the man decided to attempt a life-ending leap – luckily, unsuccessfully. The jumper received medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, including lumbar fractures.
The suicide attempt is the second ‘jumper incident’ in Liwan Plaza this year, the first being a 20-year-old male who ended his life by jumping off the fifth floor of the building on May 27.
We wish Sunday's jumper a speedy recovery and hope he gets the help he needs!
