Recently we posted a story of a man who attempted suicide but was saved by his wife who held on to his boxer shorts. �Another�young woman’s life was saved after her boyfriend caught her as she tried to take her own life by jumping off a balcony.

The 20-year-old from Harbin, China had climbed out on the couple’s balcony after a fight with her partner and had crawled out onto a washing line, threatening to jump.
Her quick-thinking boyfriend ran to the downstairs neighbours who let him hang out of their window to try and plead her down.

Witnesses on the ground and other neighbours in the apartment block in the Daoli district of Harbin, Heilongjiang province, tried to reason with the distraught woman, begging her to climb back inside.

According to eyewitnesses, the thin clothing wire wobbled and the woman fell, Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.

Fortunately, she was caught by her boyfriend, who held on to her until neighbours and firefighters arrived � despite her begging for him to let her go.

Thanks to the neighbours holding on to the boyfriend, the young woman could be pulled to safety with the help of fire services
