A man plunged 100ft from the ninth floor of a high-rise building in New Jersey and somehow survived the fall after landing on a BMW.

The 31-year-old man, who has not been named, slammed through the roof of the black BMW and was seen in a bloodied state as he crawled from the wreckage in Jersey City on Wednesday morning at around 10.20am.

The man had jumped from an open window of the ninth floor of the high-rise building at 26 Journal Square.

The man survived the fall and was seen writhing in pain on the pavement.

As he stood up, with shards of glass and the broken car roof surrounding him, the man saw that his right arm was broken and asked witnesses. ‘What happened?’

Witnesses and workers at the building stated that the man did not work inside the building and it is unclear how and why he was there.

He also refused to give police officers his name, a source said.

‘He fell into the car through the sunroof, then climbed out of the car and fell on the ground,’ said Mark Bordeaux, 50, who works in the building and saw the aftermath.

‘He was trying to get up but people were trying to get him to stay down, “You don’t know how hurt you are”.

‘So he stayed there until the police and ambulances came.

He kept saying, “Leave me alone, I want to die.”
