Suicidal drunk man saved by “The negotiator”

A drunk African man who fled from the police ended up on top of a high rise building in Saudi Arabia and wanted to jump before he decided to listen to the official negotiator behind him.

“After lengthy negotiations, the civil defence man succeeded in dissuading the African from jumping,” Okaz newspaper said on Thursday.

It said police in the central town of Makkah are interrogating the unnamed African to know the motives for his suicide attempt.
