Desert Sun – by Colin AtagiCALEXICO – A border agent prevented a man from committing suicide along the California-Mexico border Sunday, according to officials.
At about 7:05 p.m., the agent spotted the man using a rope to climb the border fence near First Street, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.
As the agent approached, the man — a 27-year-old Mexican citizen — dropped from the fence with the rope tied around his neck.
The official grabbed the man’s legs and lifted him to release pressure around his neck. He held onto the man until another agent arrived.
The rope unraveled itself as the agents elevated the man and they then lowered him to the ground.
One of them revived the man, who was unresponsive.
Border patrol EMTs monitored the man until Calexico firefighters and paramedics arrived.
They took the man to El Centro Regional Medical Center for further evaluation.
