[SIZE="5"]Man pushes would-be suicide off bridge[/SIZE]

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese man was pushed off a bridge by an angry passer-by after his threat to commit suicide held up traffic for five hours, Chinese media reported on Saturday.

Retired soldier Lian Jiansheng, 66, broke through a police cordon and reached out to shake the hand of would-be jumper Chen Fuchao before shoving him off the bridge.

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests," Lai was quoted as saying by the China Daily newspaper.

"They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."

Chen, 2 million yuan ($293,200) in debt because of a failed building project, fell 8 metres (yards) onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion and was hospitalized with wrist and back injuries. Lai was detained by police.

Chen was at least the twelfth person since early April to threaten suicide at the same spot, the Haizhu bridge in Guangzhou. But none jumped and -- until Lian gave Chen a helping hand -- none was pushed.

I wish they do the same thing for those billboard climbers.

This kinda reminds me of the Lethal Weapon movie where "Riggs" went up to a guy on the ledge of a building, went "psycho" and forced him to jump off the building into the waiting airbag on the ground.

Could it be the guy watched the same movie?

Could be except that he didn't jump with the guy :hihihi:

I remember that scene: "Do you really wanna jump?! Well that's fine with me...let's jump."

Mel handcuffs the guy to his wrist and jumps into the waiting police airbag
