MUMBAI: An 18-year-old boy attempted to end his life by jumping off the balcony of a building in Dahisar East on Wednesday, but was saved due to the quick thinking of neighbours. The incident took place at the Janakalyan Building in Dahisar East where the youth’s aunt stays. Police said the youth was frustrated over regular fights between his parents. He was also upset over being reprimanded for being unemployed. On Wednesday, he visited his aunt’s place and at one point, he climbed onto the balcony and tried to jump off. Alert neighbours who noticed the situation immediately intervened and managed to pull him back to safety, preventing a tragedy. Police said the youth lives in Malad.
