On November 6, a shocking incident occurred at Hengsheng Building in Ruian, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. According to reports circulating online, a man allegedly attempted to rape a woman and then strangled her to death. After the incident, someone noticed something unusual and called the police. Police, firefighters and 120 emergency medical personnel quickly arrived at the scene. As police arrived, the man was at one point hanging outside a high-rise window. Relatives and others at the scene tightly held onto his clothing, while firefighters launched an emergency rescue. The attempt ultimately failed, and the man fell from a height and died.
A video circulating from the scene shows the man hanging outside a high-rise window before he fell. Rescuers used ropes from above to try to save him, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
According to reports circulating online, the incident may have involved attempted rape and murder. If those claims are true, it would mean that a woman and a man both died in the incident.
At present, police have not officially confirmed the woman's specific cause of death, the relationship between the two people, how the incident unfolded, or whether the man intentionally jumped from the building.
The incident drew widespread attention online. The specific circumstances and related details still await further investigation and an announcement by local police.
