Chinese police used a firefighter's water cannon to knock a murder suspect from a hospital window ledge. The man had walked into an eighth floor hospital ward in Shenyang city, Liaoning province, and was sitting on a window ledge, threatening to kill himself. "He demanded to see a journalist, so we split our special unit into two groups, one outside the door of the ward with a real journalist, the other under the window with a big air cushion," said Hou Shaokai, deputy director of the city's special armed police. "Fearing he would commit suicide, we decided to ask the help of the fire department, to disable him with a water cannon." Yu Wenyi, 55, is a suspect in the murders of three people he believed had stopped him from remarrying his ex-wife, reports LiaoShen Evening Post. Police arranged for a reporter from the Post to stand outside the ward and question Yu, to distract him from a ladder rising behind him with two firefighters and a water gun. As soon as the ladder had risen to the height of the eighth floor, the firefighters blasted the suspect with water. Yu fell from the ledge and dropped to the air cushion, and was immediately brought under control by police. He was arrested and is now awaiting trail.
