SINGAPORE - A man in his 30s leapt out of his second-storey flat in Yishun to escape a fire on Sunday afternoon (Dec 19).
A cleaner from Bangladesh, Mr Hamid, who goes by one name, told The Straits Times he had tried to break the man's fall with a discarded sofa after hearing him cry for help.
"I saw him dangling outside the window so I tried to do whatever I could to help him," said the 34-year-old.
"But by the time the sofa had been moved, he had fallen to the ground."
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said a person with injuries was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
The SCDF was alerted to the fire, which involved the contents of a kitchen, at Block 512A Yishun Street 51 at about 1.50pm.

Next time buy a safety rope at home.
Then no need to jump

It can be very fatal if you landed wrongly.
