Firemen in Lankao County, Henan Province, pulled a seemingly suicidal woman from the ledge of a residential building on Wednesday.

Firefighters arrived on the scene at 7:58am to find a woman in her 20s sitting on a protruding third-floor window ledge.

The woman repeated the words “I cannot stand it any longer, I’m so tired.” She looked down at the ground and leaned forward several times. She appeared emotional and refused to talk to rescuers.

Firefighters were unable to inflate a rescue cushion on the ground below because of limited space.

A firefighter with a safety line tied around his waist climbed from a fourth-floor window above the woman’s head. After grabbing hold of the woman, her rescuer lowered her into the arms of a waiting security guard at the window below.

The woman did not suffer any injuries.
