A man who threatened to jump from a public works building in Cedar Rapids and then fell about 30 feet is recovering from his injuries. Cedar Rapids Police were called to the public works facility on the southwest side of the city about four p.m. Monday on the report that a 41-year-old man was on the roof threatening to jump.

After about three hours of negotiations, the man lowered himself down the side of the building, then let himself drop about 30 feet to the ground. The man, whose name has not been released, sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
