A man plummeted to his death from a west London building site in the early hours of Sunday morning, as police hunted for a bar attack suspect nearby.
Emergency services say they attempted to resuscitate the 33-year-old in Hammersmith but he was pronounced dead at the scene at around 3am.
Police had been alerted to reports of a man attacking a number of people and acting aggressively at a bar on The Broadway, who then left the venue.
Within 15 minutes of searching the area, officers were dealing with a man who fell from a building site close by, the Metropolitan Police said.
In a statement, a spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘Police were called at 2.44am on Sunday, 1 August to reports of a man acting aggressively at a bar on The Broadway in Hammersmith.
‘Officers attended and it was reported the man had assaulted a number of people before leaving the scene. They began a search of the area to track down the man.
