A 20-year-old man is in critical condition after falling nine stories from downtown St. Paul's Galtier Plaza in an attempted suicide.

The St. Paul Police Department was called to the residential, office and retail building at 4:36 p.m. Sunday on reports that someone jumped from the tower on Jackson and Sixth Streets. The man, who is being treated at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, jumped from a 10th floor patio and landed on scaffolding from construction located one story above the sidewalk.

The man is believed to be a resident at Galtier Plaza, according to police.

Galtier is home to both the Airye Condominiums and On The Park condos, this incident took place below Airye, in the rental apartments.  I believe the scaffolding the young man landed on was set up for the buildings large glass repair.  The scaffolding likely saved his life.

Hopefully, he can get the help he needs!
