SEOUL: A 47-year-old Myanmar man narrowly escaped serious injury after falling from a six-story building and landing on an outdoor air conditioning unit one floor below, avoiding a potentially fatal fall.
Officials at the Incheon Bupyeong Police Station said they received a report at around 10.40am Sunday (June 28) that the man was hanging from an outdoor AC unit on the fifth floor of a commercial building in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon.
Police forced their way into an adjacent unit and rescued him 23 minutes after the report was made.
The man had fallen from a Myanmar prayer centre on the sixth floor before landing on the AC unit one floor below.
He sustained a minor ankle injury in the fall.
While the circumstances of the fall remain unclear, police had the man taken to a local hospital after acquaintances said he had a mental health condition. - The Korea Herald/ANN
