On Sunday, April 23, 2017, at approximately 8:47 a.m., San Bruno Police Officers responded to the 500 block of Mastic Avenue regarding a subject yelling from a rooftop.

Officers quickly engaged the fifty-two year old male South San Francisco resident in conversation from the ground while additional officers made their way to the rooftop of the three story apartment building to contact the subject. The subject continually made statements that people were chasing him and that he intended to jump off the rooftop to get away from them. Police Officers were able to contact, speak to, and secure the subject on the roof resolving this incident safely. The San Bruno Fire Department was summoned to assist with lowering the subject from the rooftop. Fire department personnel used a ladder truck to hoist the subject to the ground safely. He was then transported a local hospital for treatment for his mental health condition. This incident was resolved with no reported injuries.
