Police officers rescued a man named Wang who attempted suicide after his wife racked up thousands in debt from online shopping,

The clip, shot in the city of Luzhou in Sichuan Province on November 10, shows police officers trying to persuade Wang who sat on the edge of the roof on a 33-storey building to come down.

Wang's wife can be heard saying " I was wrong. I have spent too much money."

Wang himself then said "she spent a lot of money last year and owed around 200,000 yuan (£22,000). However, she owed more than 300,000 yuan (£33,000) this year. She spent thousands every month."

Police attempted to calm him down and persuade him to come down from the roof first.

According to reports, Wang's wife Zhan was obsessed with online shopping and used her credit card to buy the items from designer brands.

Wang paid £22,000 that Zhan owed for her last year and thought she would change. But Zhan owed even more by shopping online this year and Wang got too stressful before the country's biggest online shopping festival Singles' Day.

Since the whole family relied on Wang's earning and he only earns a few thousand yuan a month. Wang was stressed to the point of suicide.

Wang finally gave up on taking his own life after being persuaded by patient police for nearly 30 minutes.

11月10日晚，“双11”前夜，四川泸州男子王某坐在33层高楼的天台围墙上，有轻生念头。他是被妻子气的，2年来，一家人主要靠他每月几千元的收入生活，但痴迷网购的妻子在去年欠下20余万元后，仍不听劝阻，今年再次因网购欠下30余万元。双十一来临前夕，丈夫担心妻子再控制不住自己疯狂购物，压力太大才做出此举。所幸，当地警方接到报警后及时到场，将王某劝了下来。

警方具体通报：
2019年11月10日晚22时许，安宁派出所接到中心指令称，在安宁街道某小区有人想不开要跳楼自杀，值班民警立即赶往现场。
在该小区一单元楼天台处，男子王某（男，29岁）半坐在天台围墙边，十分危险。民警一边安抚王某的情绪，一边了解情况。据了解，王某的妻子詹某某（女，29岁）经常在网上购买名牌包包、香水、衣服等物品，仅仅去年就通过透支信用卡、贷款等方式消费掉20余万元。后来被老公王某发现后，为其归还了20余万元贷款。本以为詹某某会因此改掉这种毛病，没想到今年变本加厉，又疯狂购物欠下30余万元。王某感觉到压力太大，于是产生了轻生的念头。
在民警的耐心劝导下，王某从天台上下来，但回到家后，王某的情绪仍然十分不稳定，一直在诉说着自己心中的苦。民警通知了双方父母到场进行沟通，随后王某的情绪才慢慢得到缓解。
