A woman jumped from the rooftop of a Tokyo department store in an apparent suicide Tuesday, seriously injuring a passerby below, police said.
Responding to phone calls from passersby, police found a woman in her 20s and a 37-year-old man lying on the sidewalk and bleeding in front of the Ikebukuro Parco store near bustling Ikebukuro Station on Tuesday afternoon, local police spokesman Tetsuhiko Kanehara said.
Both were taken to a nearby hospital, where the unidentified woman was pronounced dead on arrival, Kanehara said. The man remains unconscious, he said, adding that his name is being withheld on privacy grounds.
