BEIJING (Reuters) – A Chinese man was pushed off a bridge by an angry passer-by after his threat to commit suicide held up traffic for five hours, Chinese media reported on Saturday.
……
“I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests,” Lai was quoted as saying by the China Daily newspaper.

Part of me feels like this would only happen in China.  Then again 5 hours is a long time to be stuck in traffic.  I would’ve preferred the Chinese government give this guy a stipend as opposed to a penalty.  If people need attention that badly, try out for American Idol or the Asian equivalent.
