Footage of the incident, which has circulated widely on X, shows the visibly shaken man being restrained and pulled to safety by a police officer with assistance from people at the scene.
The intervention prevented what could have ended in a fatal outcome.
The video also shows that, following his rescue, the man was questioned and reprimanded by some individuals at the location.
He remained largely silent, appearing emotionally overwhelmed, while still connected to the video call that reportedly triggered the distress.
The incident has since ignited a heated conversation online, with users expressing sharply differing views.
Some commenters criticised the man, arguing that relationship betrayal should not drive anyone to endanger their life and urging a more pragmatic response such as separation or divorce.
Others, however, condemned the lack of empathy shown at the scene, stressing that emotional shock from discovering infidelity, especially in a public or live setting, can be overwhelming and requires compassion rather than ridicule.
Several commentators called for greater awareness around mental health support, noting that individuals in acute emotional distress need immediate help and understanding, not judgment.
The episode has renewed calls for more humane responses to mental health crises and for authorities and bystanders alike to prioritise safety, dignity and support when intervening in such situations.
