Firefighters ABSEIL down building and KICK suicidal man to safety

The depressed man was hunched over a balcony threatening to throw himself off the third floor of the apartment block in Pahang, Malaysia. Crowds gathered on the street below to try and talk him round but he refused to budge. Three rescue workers stealthily attached climbing ropes to the 50ft high building and swooped down on the troubled would-be jumper. One fireman kicks him in the chest while two colleagues pile on him and push him backwards onto the safety of the balcony - sparking cheers from onlookers.
