A 52-year-old man was injured on Thursday after allegedly throwing himself out of the window of his home, situated on the 5th floor, whilst several court officials were carrying out a seizure procedure in the district of Ataşehir, on the Asian side of Istanbul. The incident occurred at around 4.00 pm in a building on Fatih Sultan Street, in the neighbourhood of İçerenköy.
According to initial reports, the landlord of the property, identified by the initials H.H.Ü., fell onto the concrete ground from the fifth floor of the building for reasons that remain unknown, just as the officials were carrying out legal proceedings relating to the repossession of his home, local media reported.
After receiving the alert, emergency services and the police attended the scene. Paramedics administered first aid to the injured man and subsequently transferred him by ambulance to Fatih Sultan Mehmet Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.
Istanbul police later inspected both the flat and the area surrounding the building and launched an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the incident. The authorities are now trying to determine whether the fall was accidental or an attempted suicide.
