A South Korean man attempted to jump off the balcony from his 8th floor hotel room in Hanoi Tuesday night, but was stopped by the police.

At around 7 p.m., citizens at the The Emerald CT8 My Dinh apartment complex in My Dinh 1 Ward saw a man hanging from the balcony on the 8th floor acting in a strange way.

Police of Nam Tu Liem District were informed of the incident and sent officers to the site. Rescuers placed an air mattress down on the ground, then let police officers and interpreters approach the man using a ladder truck.

The man refused to cooperate and constantly struggled. However, police officers managed to incapacitate him and brought him down to the ground safely. He was detained by the police.
