PHUKET: A woman in emotional distress threatened to jump from a pedestrian bridge onto Thepkrasattri Rd in Thalang last night (May 14). She was finally talked down to safety after nearly an hour and a half of police and rescue workers talking the woman through her heartbreak.

 

Police and rescue workers were called to the scene, in front of the Thalang Health Care Centre, at 11:50pm.

 

The woman, a 38-year-old resident of Cherng Talay, stood on the edge of the pedestrian bridge and threatened to jump, although the span is just 5.5 metres above the main road.

Cry for help. Hope she gets it and forgets whoever the guy (or girl) is. No one's worth dying for.

Agreed, but she would have hardly died this time anyway.
