A man jumps from a fifth-floor building in a suspected suicide attempt in Mombasa County.
A distressing occurrence happened on Monday morning in Mombasa County where a man on a towel was seen on camera jumping out of a window of a five-story building.
Residents captured footage of the man standing on the window, with people yelling at him to stop jumping.
He leapt in defiance of their entreaties, landing with a loud thud on parked cars outside the building before plummeting onto the tarmacked road.
However, it was not immediately clear whether the man lost his life after the fall with the police yet to comment on the matter.

“Did that man jump from the building?” one of the passersby could be heard asking in the video.
Meanwhile, residents in the building gazed down from their balconies in shock as they witnessed the man lying on the ground.
The unfortunate incident comes at a time when Kenyans have expressed concern over the rising number of suicide cases in the country.
On Sunday, a suicide case was reported after a woman jumped from her third-floor apartment balcony in Lang’ata.
Similarly in August 2023, an engineering student from Mwembe Tayari in Mombasa County set himself on fire as a desperate response to the harsh economic conditions.
