This is the terrifying moment a man awaiting extradition to the United States jumped to his death at a holding facility in Colombia.

Daniel Álvarez was being escorted by agents at the attorney general’s building in Medellín when he leaped over the third-floor stair handrail on Wednesday.

Paramedics attempted to save his life while rushing him to an area clinic, but he was declared dead before arriving.

Álvarez was facing child pornography and pedophilia charges in the Southern District of New York.
