GEORGE TOWN – A woman’s attempt to jump off Penang bridge was foiled today when she was saved by passers-by.
The incident was captured on social media before it went viral on the Penang Today Community Facebook page.
The videos showed people gathering near the woman before a man snatched her from behind.
The good Samaritan was then assisted by a few others at the bridge.
It was reported on May 17 that at least five individuals jumped off the structure in the last 12 days.
The incidents occurred in the midst of the long Hari Raya Aidilfitri period when the bridge recorded a high level of traffic.
Synthia Surin, regional director of the International College of Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioners Asia, told The Vibes that patrols must be doubled and consider installing more CCTVs along the bridge. – The Vibes, May 21, 2022
