Perhaps Spring fever's hit Shanghai. If you thought that shooting story was crazy, listen to this: Yesterday morning at 8am, a 20-year-old man was found hanging on a wire between the second and third floors of a building in Xuhui district - completely naked. We promise we aren't stringing you along.
According to witnesses, the man had already been bleeding from his left wrist when he climbed up the stairs of the three story building. On the third floor, he took off all his clothes and jumped, only to be caught on what looks like an electric wire right outside the apartment.
He was unconscious when firemen came to rescue him and bring him to the hospital. While there, apparently he came to and needed to be sedated. Besides the cuts on his wrist, there were no other life-threatening injuries.
