Abu Dhabi: A man committed suicide by hanging himself from the pedestrian bridge on Shaikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum Road, also known as Airport Road, in the UAE capital's downtown on Sunday morning, Abu Dhabi police confirmed.
The police received a call at 11.19am on Sunday stating that a man — later identified as an Asian — was found hanging from a pedestrian bridge on Airport Road.
The police sent a team to investigate the incident. Emergency workers rushed the person to the hospital.
