A crowd of curious onlookers milled around the building as they watched the man being rushed to hospital.

Mr Ibrahim Juma, who witnessed the incident, said that he heard a loud scream as the man came down before landing on the balcony.

“It is then that people rushed and helped him up before rushing him to hospital,” said Mr Juma.

Two years ago, a man had plunged from 15th floor of Pension Towers, on Loita Street, where he had visited his relatives.
