According to Chinese media such as CCTV and People's Daily, Tao (38), who was working on waterproofing the outer wall from the height of the 12th floor of an apartment building in Hefei, Anhui Province, on the 24th, suddenly felt the rope shake.
Looking down, on the ninth floor, Mr. Wang (female, 68) was cutting a rope in the air with a knife in his hand.
Mr. Tao urgently shouted for her to quit, but the old man ignored it and continued his actions.
In the end, Mr. Tao called the police and asked for help. The old man stopped cutting the rope at the restraint of the dispatched police.
In a police investigation, the old man confessed to committing the crime angrily after the rope left a stain on the window during the repair work on the outer wall.
Netizens should be punished severely for attempted murder", "Is a window more important than a person's life?" be posting back-criticizing comments.
Some argued that inadequate construction supervision often results in conflict situations between residents and workers.
