Jilted bride jumps out of window

Rescue ... man desperately hangs on to woman

A JILTED bride-to-be tries to hurl herself off the top of a building - still wearing her wedding dress - after her boyfriend broke up with her.

Devastated Li-Wan sat sobbing on a window ledge 80ft up in Changchun, eastern China, just hours after partner Wang Lu called off the big day.

But as she jumped off the ledge to certain death, local care worker Guo Zhongfan managed to catch her and hold her dangling by the neck above the sheer drop.

One eye witness said: "On the floor below there were more people trying to hold her up by her feet while he pulled her back inside by her long skirt.

Her rescuer Zhongfan said: "She was very sad about the end of her romance but she knows that now she has a second chance and should make the most of it."
