Senior citizen pushes would be suicide jumper off bridge
New Express
May 22, 2009Today's Guangzhou-based New Express reports on an odd incident that took place in Guangzhou yesterday: a 31-year-old subcontractor climbed to the top of a bridge and threatened to jump off. This gambit is not uncommon among desperate creditors who want government intervention to help them get their money back, but in this case, as he was waiting on the bridge, an elderly man snuck up and pushed him off.
Though the man landed on an air mattress, he suffered multiple bone fractures and was said to be in critical condition in the hospital. The old man gave a triumphant salute to onlookers and then was arrested by police.
An article that ran on May 15 reported that there had been 15 "jumping shows" on that same bridge, the Haizhu Bridge, this year. Eight of the individuals were arrested for traffic disruption.

老者推下跳桥男子事件续:双方均被采取刑事措施
中网北京5月23日消息 中国之声全国新闻联播18点45分报道,广州海珠桥上,一位老伯把一名威胁跳桥者推下桥。是见义勇为还是涉嫌伤害,广州市民对此展开议论。
21日8点左右,来自茂名化州的包工头陈富超因被拖欠工程款爬上广州海珠桥顶,声称要跳桥。警察、消防员陆续到场,对海珠桥实施管制,并安放气垫床,展开劝说。到12时15分,当大家束手无策的时候,一位60多岁的老伯爬上海珠桥,连拉带推使陈富超摔下大桥,导致其手肘、腰椎骨折。事后这位老伯说,跳桥者使交通中断,损害了广大市民的利益。
广州海珠桥被当地市民称之为跳桥圣地,仅今年4月1日以来,已发生12 次爬桥事件,交通经常为此中断,市民在无奈之余对跳桥者也有些意见。因此,老伯的行为引起市民的不同看法。
"我支持这个老人家,他是为了大众的利益,不要为了个人利益而影响公众。"
"跳桥的人也是没办法走投无路,肯定有解决不了的事情,不然谁有事没事往桥上跳桥,是吧。还是有些问题没解决,应该帮人家解决好。那个老头再怎么样也不应该把人家推下去,太缺德了。"
"两个人都错,首先那个跳桥的就错,爬上去造成了公共交通堵塞几个小时,那个老头也有错,有警察他就不应该上去,上去了就应该劝人家下来,不该把人家推下来,把人家伤了。"
警方表示,推人的老伯和跳桥者陈富超均被采取刑事措施,老伯涉嫌故意伤害罪,陈富超涉嫌聚众扰乱公共场所秩序罪。
在广州两会上曾经提交建议严惩"跳桥秀"行为人的广州市人大代表吴振鑫认为,这个看似简单的事件却涉及到方方面面的问题,并非仅靠处罚就能解决问题的,政府首先应该为农民工建立起通畅的维权渠道,才是"长久之计"。
