A 60-year-old Haifa man attempted suicide by means of autodefenestration from the third floor of a local police station on Saturday.

The jumper was seriously injured and rushed by a Magen David Adom crew to Rambam Hospital in the coastal Israeli city.

He had been arrested and was being questioned on suspicion of beating his wife, and an investigation into those allegations is underway.
