Students of the Brunei Complex at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) were left in a state of shock after a fellow student attempted to commit suicide.

The student was successfully rescued by his colleagues.

In a video circulating on social media, the student is captured hanging from a window of a seven-storey building with about four boys pulling him up to safety.

The student is said to have attempted to jump off but apparently lost his nerve and continued hanging onto the windows until he was saved.

Voice of KNUST reports that, he in currently stable condition.
