Looking in that direction, I saw a young man hanging with a rope around his neck on the building’s internal staircase, between 3 and 2 floors. I ran up with another woman and we held his legs with all our strength so that he would not fall and the rope would not tighten his neck. Eventually the police came and took control of the situation.
