A DRUNK man who wanted to kill himself by jumping from a bridge changed his mind at the last minute before tragically slipping and falling to his death.

The unnamed 22-year-old was climbing down from the top of the structure when he tumbled forward and fell 30 metres to the road below.

The harrowing incident was witnessed by a crowd of onlookers who had been trying to talk the suicidal man down from the Crimean Bridge in central Moscow.

A member of the public was filmed talking to the man after bravely climbing up to him and convincing him to get down from the top of the pillar.

He can be seen shuffling behind his would-be rescuer as he attempted to make his way down to the road below.

Unnamed man, 22, broke his neck according to a witness
