Shocking! Hungarian woman fell to death in a Budapest shopping mall

Customers were fighting for the life of the elderly woman who had fallen from the fourth floor of the Mammut 2 shopping centre last Wednesday.

“I will never be able to forget that terrible sound. It was like two cars going 120 km/h colliding head-on without pushing the breaks,” said one witness who, along with others, fought for the elderly woman’s life. The Hungarian man, who works as a paramedic in Germany, and his wife were standing at the escalator on the first floor when they saw the woman falling.

The tragic incident happened in the second district of Budapest, in Mammut 2 shopping mall last Wednesday. Although it is not known yet whether it was a suicide or an accident, according to the couple’s information,

the woman pushed the flower box to the railing, stood on it, stepped over the safety barrier and jumped off.

As the Hungarian news portal Blikk reports, the safety barrier was even higher than the one required. The Hungarian couple, along with several customers, immediately rushed to the aid of the elderly lady. Norbert, the paramedic, started to make chest compressions, supported by a young medical student and three female customers. Security rushed up to the medical centre of the store to bring equipment, a breathing balloon and a defibrillator.
