MIDTOWN — A construction worker was rushed to the hospital Thursday morning after he fell from the ninth floor window of a Midtown building, police and the FDNY said.
The man deliberately jumped off the building and later died, police told the New York Post.
The blood-covered man was taken from 57 West 57th St., at Sixth Avenue, to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital.
He had fallen from a window at a construction site on the ninth floor, where a suite was being renovated, said building manager John Sochran, who called 911 after hearing the crash.
It wasn't clear whether he fell to ground level or onto a roof several stories below the window.
Sochran said there was at least one other worker on duty at the ninth floor construction site. But the man told Sochran that he didn't know how his co-worker had fallen.
An FDNY spokesman said the incident happened at roughly 10.08 a.m.
