A good Samaritan has rescued a middle-aged man after he attempted suicide in Bomet township.

"A man who happened to be passing by noticed the victim dangling from a tree, gasping for air and kicking helplessly." So he ran to help," Ngetich explained.

The individual was claimed to be on the edge of dying when he was rescued. He was subsequently brought to the hospital, where he received medical care.

It is unclear what caused the man's suicide attempt.
