While on duty at the State Emergency Service's heating point on Popovich Street, police officer Andriy Nechyporenko and two cadets from the National Academy of Internal Affairs, Nikita Dudnyk and Bohdan Levchenko, were approached by a man who asked for help – according to him, his neighbor was threatening to jump from a 7th-story balcony after an argument with his girlfriend.
Law enforcement officers quickly went up to the apartment and found the 22-year-old man in an agitated emotional state. He was on the balcony and refused to come inside the apartment.
