Four break-in robbers who
were cornered by woken-up residents jumped off the sixth floor of a building in
Tongzhou County on Sunday - one died instantly and the other three were
hospitalized, reports Beijing Evening News.
At about 2 am, four young men with knives stole into a flat in No 37 building
at Yongshun Xili development to rob several young women, witnesses said.
The women's screams woke up the residents in the building; and six or seven
men picked up iron rods and ran after the robbers.
When the robbers reached the top of the six-floor building and found no way
out, they shouted and jumped one after another, only to fall to the playground
in a primary school.
