Man in Tribeca threatens to commit suicide by jump off a building, the FDNY and NYPD managed to grab him and bring him down
An unidentified man climbed out onto a beam from the 22nd floor of a New York City building — bringing Manhattan traffic to a stop as he precariously balanced while close to death! The 73-year-old was wanted for questioning in the death of his girlfriend, as his desperate pleas were caught on video.

The man would remain perched on the narrow beam for four hours while police negotiated with him — bringing in an interpreter who spoke Mandarin while clearing the area of bystanders if he fell.
