See Photos; Man Saves His Suicidal Wife From Jumping Off A Seven Storey Building

This is the heart-stopping moment a man grabs his wife's hair to save her from jumping off a seven-storey building in northwest China's Shaanxi.According to a report, a young woman was seen hanging from the edge of a high rise building, shouting 'let go'. The woman was later rescued by her husband, along with the help of local police. ...


One policeman suffered a soft tissue injury on his shoulder during the frantic scramble.
The suicide attempt happened around 4:30pm last Sunday in Shiquan county.

It is believed that the woman, surnamed Kang, had a quarrel of family matters with her husband, surnamed Liu, living in the top floor of the building. 

Kang appeared to be in a state of emotional distress - as seen from the police bodycam footage - when she struggled, refused to step back from the edge and told her husband 'to let go'. Kang's body was hanging freely at the edge of the rooftop, while her husband tried to save her by grabbing her ponytail.

Six local policemen arrived the scene and helped to pull Kang's body back to the platform. 

The police grabbed Liu's belt and another tried to take Kang's hand. 

The rescue effort lasted about three minutes. Following the debacle, police gave advice to the couple and worked to calm the wife's emotion.
