Rescuers save man from committing suicide

EDIT CONTAINS 4:3 MATERIAL

Emergency crews in China make an amazing save...

A man, perched on a metal bar over a stairwell in an apartment building is threatening to jump.

Rescue crews begin setting up equipment on the ground floor... and on the sixth, they place a ladder horizontally across the well to block the fall.

Just then, the man does fall- but is intercepted by emergency workers.

They pull him into the stairwell, and out of harms way.

Local media say the man threatened to kill himself after his family asked him to go to rehab for his drug addiction.
