KUALA LUMPUR:
Shoppers at Suria KLCC today were shocked when a man threatened to jump from the sixth floor of the shopping mall.

In the 5pm incident, the man, in his 40s, stood at the edge of the main corridor barrier and threatened to jump if anyone went near him.

He even stood on one leg and held the railing with one hand whenever anyone tried to persuade him.

After more than two hours, safety personnel from the fire brigade and police managed to talk him out of it, earning a huge cheer from hundreds of shoppers.
