It ended when the man finally threw himself into the void.
Its fall was partly cushioned by a roof at an intermediate distance between the ground and the 3rd floor.
He then landed on mattresses, which had been placed on the ground in anticipation of his gesture.
He suffers from rib pain but his life is not in danger, according to a source familiar with the matter.
He was transported to the Eaubonne hospital center.
Blood on my hands and inconsistent words
It is first the municipal police of Enghien-les-Bains, who would have come into contact with the madman shortly before 7 p.m., on the public highway.
The young man allegedly had blood on his hands and made inconsistent comments.
It was then that he allegedly tried to escape them and took a knife out of his satchel.
He then went up to the 3rd floor of a building in the city center, at the level of the common areas, from where he threatened to jump.
The police requested the National Police Intervention Force (FIPN) which sent a Raid team to the site shortly before midnight.
She continued the efforts to negotiate with the madman until he decided to jump out the window at the start of the night.
A judicial investigation was opened and the home of the young man searched.
