NYPD: Tiger's den jumper not drunk or crazy - Jack VanGorden

A 25-year old man jumped from a monorail car into the Bronx Zoo's tiger den recently. He was supposedly fascinated with tigers and spent long hours at the zoo for the past month. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly stated, "there was no evidence Villalobos was mentally ill or was intoxicated... he just momentarily lost any semblance of common sense."David Villalobos, the jumper, is hospitalized in stable condition but suffers a broken right shoulder, broken rib, collapsed lung, broken ankle, broken pelvis, and puncture wounds. Most of his injuries appear to be the result of the 17-foot fall from the monorail. Villalobos told the police, "his leap was definitely not a suicidal attempt, but a desire to be one with the tiger."David was charged with misdemeanor trespassing and will be charged after he leaves the hospital.
