Daytona Beach - A 37-year-old man being taken to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation is in stable condition after jumping off a second-story roof of the Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach.
Hospital spokeswoman Salina Wang said the man was being brought to the hospital by his brother at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday for psychiatric evaluation. As they were going through the front entrance, the man broke away and ran up a set of outside stairs to the roof of an administrative wing.
Daytona Beach police were dispatched and spent some time trying to talk the man off the roof, but he jumped.
