The man then began yelling from the window and saying he was going to jump.
Cops were called to the scene. Officers recognized that the man was suffering from a mental health crisis.
The cops negotiated with the man during a 45 minute standoff. During the negotiation distractions, cops busted open the man’s room door and restrained him.
