A man who allegedly attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the view point at the Howick Falls in KwaZulu-Natal has survived.
According to EMS it is believed that the man’s fall was slowed by multiple thick trees, bushes and rock ledges.
Emergency Medical Services Midlands said they received multiple calls about a 35-year-old man who plunged into Howick Falls on Tuesday and immediately went to the scene.
“A quick-thinking security guard on the scene called for help and some bystanders started making their way down to the man on foot,” said EMS.
Once EMS, police search and rescue, and multiple local security services arrived the man started walking with the help of bystanders.
