A man fell from the 9th floor of a New Jersey high rise and luckily survived after landing on a BMW.
The 31-year-old plunged through the roof of a black Beemer 330i parked below 26 Journal Square around 10:20 a.m. Wednesday.
He stood up with his right arm dangling at his side, asking, “What happened?” onlooker Christina Smith, 21, told The New York Post.
“I heard a big boom and I didn’t think it was a person at first,” said Smith. “The back window of the car just busted out — exploded. Then the guy jumped up and started screaming. His arm was all twisted.”
Smith acted quickly and called 911 and then snapped pictures of the incident.
She was able to get graphic footage of the man screaming in pain from upper-body injuries from the near 100ft fall.
The man allegedly jumped from an open window, and was rushed to a hospital and listed in critical condition Thursday, said Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcion.
It’s unclear why the man was at the location. He has refused to give the police his name and was not being cooperative.
“He fell into the car through the sunroof, then climbed out of the car and fell on the ground. He was trying to get up but people were trying to get him to stay down —‘You don’t know how hurt you are,’” said Mark Bordeaux, 50, who works in the building and witnessed the aftermath of the fall.
“So he stayed there until the police and ambulances came. He kept saying, ‘Leave me alone, I want to die.’ You saw one of his arms was clearly broken, but he was conscious, he was moving,” he said.
“He wanted to die. That was his agenda. But God had something else in mind.”
Authorities don’t say there were suspicious circumstances involved.
