One criminal was spared death by the long and powerful arm of law and order.
A man attempted to jump from an 11th-floor balcony but was saved, as seen on heartbreaking video obtained by East 2 West News.
According to accounts from the local law enforcement, the incident took place when a guy and his girlfriend got into a fight in Stavropol, Russia. She would have fallen 120 feet if he had succeeded in his alleged first attempt to hurl her over the edge.
Instead, he allegedly caused her “bodily damage.”
The neighbours who shared the balcony with the couple arrived outside when they heard yelling. The man made an attempt to jump off the ledge as they emerged.
