Everything happened at 2.20 this Friday afternoon inside the Courthouse, when a young man around 25, without being noticed by anyone, hung himself with a rope from the third floor, making a suicide attempt.

The young man was in Self-standing Single-Member Misdemeanor Court for theft, when he tried under unclear circumstances to end his life.

At that moment two women realized what was happening and tried to hold him by his feet in order to save his life.

With great composure, they held him by his lower limbs, until the police arrived and the episode ended, with the young man in good health.

One of the two women who reacted with great composure and actually saved his life spoke to onlarissa.gr, giving her testimony: “I was leaving an office when I heard a lady shouting ‘help run’ seeing the young man diving into the void. Looking in that direction I saw the young man hanging by a rope by his neck on the interior stairs of the building between the 3rd and 2nd floors. I ran with another lady and we held his legs as hard as we could so he wouldn’t fall and hang himself. Finally the police came and took charge of the situation. I’m still in shock… from everything I’ve been through…”.
