A 19-year-old Worli resident attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the Bandra Worli sea link on Tuesday. Fortunately, a guard on the sea link saw him trying to jump in and rushed to the spot and caught hold of him. However, the teenager, identified as Ujay Parmar, whipped out a knife from his pocket and slashed his neck and hands. He was rushed to Bhabha Hospital where he is under treatment.

Sukhlal Varpe, senior inspector, told mid-day, "On Tuesday, around 11 am, Parmar caught a taxi from Worli and said he wanted to go to Bandra. When the taxi reached the sea link, he jumped out of the running vehicle and then tried to jump off the bridge. A guard saw him and immediately rushed to the spot and stopped him."
