http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8064867.stmA man threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a Chinese bridge was approached by a passer-by who shoved him over the edge, local media say.
Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams in Guangzhou, southern China.
Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.
The drama unfolded when Mr Chen climbed on to Haizhu Bridge in Guangzhou on Thursday and threatened to jump.
Mr Lai is said to have then broken through the police cordon, climbed to where Mr Chen sat, greeted him with a handshake - and then pushed him off the edge.
Im happy the guy is alright. I couldnt help but giggle about this. I know I shouldnt but it just struck me as funny.. im gonna jump! im gonna jump! well let me give ya a hand.
apparently this bridge is the place to go for people saying they are going to kill themselves..
The bridge has gained a macabre reputation, attracting at least 12 would-be suicide jumpers since the start of April, according to the China Daily report.
None of the 12 has jumped, although each has held up traffic for several hours, it said.
