Firefighters in Kuwait have rescued an African domestic worker who threatened to throw herself off of her employer's balcony after a dispute.
Authorities rushed to the scene after a call was placed to the Interior Ministry by a citizen who reported that his domestic worker was threatening to jump from the balcony.
They arrived just in time, and although it was difficult to reach the woman, firefighters were able to use a rescue ladder to get to her and talk her down, Al-Rai daily reported.
During investigations, the woman said that she was in conflict with her sponsor and decided to throw herself from the balcony because she was angry.
She has been referred to the appropriate authority for necessary action.
