A man has jumped off an apartment balcony in Pentagon City in an apparent suicide attempt.
It happened on the 400 block of 12th Street S., between Army Navy Drive and S. Eads Street. That’s the same stretch of road that was shut down yesterday due to a man with mental health issues who reportedly injured himself and was being uncooperative with police.
That same man is believed to be the person who jumped today, according to scanner traffic.
There were several witnesses to the incident, who are being interviewed by police. Officers are again shutting down 12th Street S. between Army Navy and Eads while they take photos and investigate.
The man is being transported to the trauma center at George Washington University Hospital. The severity of his injuries are unclear at this time.
POLICE ACTIVITY: 12th St S closed btw Army Navy Drive & Eads St as PD investigate attempted suicide. Male subject transported to hospital.

If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, help is a phone call away. Call CrisisLink at 703-527-4077.
