[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Jumi Lee] A mother in her 30s threw her 6-year-old daughter out of a third-floor window of a building and then jumped after her. Fortunately, both mother and daughter are reported to be out of life-threatening danger.

According to the Gumi Police Station in Gyeongbuk on the 24th, at around 3:40 PM that day, Ms. A (39) pushed her 6-year-old daughter out of the window on the third floor of a four-story villa in Gumi City and then jumped down herself.

Fortunately, the owner of a restaurant on the first floor of a nearby building caught the falling child, and it is reported that the child's life is not in danger.

The owner, Mr. B, heard sounds of a fight coming from the villa, went outside, and upon seeing the falling child, ran to catch her with his hands. However, due to the weight, he could not fully hold her and lost grip. The child hit her head on the ground and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Ms. A, who jumped from the third floor afterward, was also injured and transported to the hospital.

The police are investigating the detailed circumstances, believing the incident occurred after a family dispute.
