A man jumped from the roof of a three-story building and was severely injured after he was egged on by a crowd of people watching below, a newspaper in Guangdong Province reported.
Huang Shuguang climbed to the rooftop of a commercial building in the provincial capital Guangzhou on Tuesday morning with the intent of committing suicide, Nanfang Metropolis Daily reported.
A reporter from the newspaper was on the rooftop with Huang and tried to persuade him not to jump.
Huang told the reporter he wanted to commit suicide because his village mates from Hunan Province framed him for drug trafficking and theft.
Although Huang at one point changed his mind about jumping, some people in the crowd below incited him to leap off the building, the report said. "You jump," a middle-aged woman was seen shouting, according to the newspaper.
Before jumping, Huang told the reporter he would be laughed at if he just walked away. He then jumped off the building and landed where the air cushion didn't cover. Huang landed on his buttocks and an ambulance at the seen took him to a nearby hospital, the paper reported.
Huang is still in danger and police are still investigating the case, the report said.
