Asian tries to end life on Sheikh Zayed Road

An Asian public servant suffered from serious injuries on Tuesday after trying to commit a suicide by throwing himself from a bridge on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.

Police had to stop the traffic on the busy road to allow for their helicopter to land and pick the man to transfer him to the hospital.

“He hit the ground but he was lucky that no cars were coming in his direction…he was transferred to hospital with serious injuries,” Dubai’s CID chief Brigadier Khalil Al Mansoori said, adding that investigation showed the man was suffering from psychological problems.
