A Man Previously Jumped From a Trump Tower Balcony
The incident at Trump Tower comes less than a year after a man jumped from a balcony within the building.
While speaking to the Daily Mail, the New York Fire Department confirmed the man fell 50 feet. He landed in front of visitors having lunch in the food court.
The man allegedly acted “strangely” and was asked to leave the building shortly before he fell. The man was found injured and unconscious. However, the man had appeared to be conscious when first responders arrived on the scene.
He was rushed to nearby NY Presbyterian-Cornell with non-specific injuries.
