Chinese woman attempting to kill herself kicked back into building by firefighter

Beijing: Launching a solid kick out of the blue, a firefighter in China has managed to save the life of a woman who was threatening to jump off a window.

According to reports, the incident happened on May 4 in eastern China’s Xuzhou.

In a video that has gone viral online, the unidentified woman is seen sitting on a sixth floor window ledge with her legs dangling out.

Described as having been ‘very emotional’, the woman did not let anyone come close and was unheeding to the rescue team’s request to get back to safety.

Unaware to the woman however, the rescue team split into two and while one group attempted to reason with her and distract her, two firefighters climbed down the seventh floor window.

One of them eventually climbs down close enough and hanging on the ledge with his bare hands, kicks the woman, leaving the woman tumbling back inside the building.

She was later escorted out and has since been held in police custody.
