A man attempted to take his own life at the Grand Mosque in Makkah by jumping off an upper floor, however, he was saved by a guard who swiftly responded to catch him, preventing a fatal fall.

 

 

According to reports, the security guard immediately intervened to break the man’s fall and sustained injuries while attempting the rescue.

 

Both individuals were rushed to nearby medical facilities for treatment.

 

Meanwhile, the administration of Masjid Al Haram has assured the public that they are handling the matter and have followed all necessary procedures.

 

Authorities said they are investigating the incident but have not released further details about what led to the attempted suicide.

 

It may be noted that this is not the first time when someone attempted suicide at the Holy Mosque in Makkah.

 

A similar incident occurred in 2017, when a man died by suicide near the Kaaba after jumping from the third floor of the Grand Mosque while thousands of pilgrims were performing tawaf.
