A man stunned shoppers yesterday when he leaped to his death at a Queens mall, authorities said.
The 28-year-old man jumped at about 12:35 p.m., in an apparent suicide, from the third floor to the sub-level near Macy’s of the Queens Center mall in Elmhurst, cops said. He died at Elmhurst Hospital.
A kiosk worker told The Post that the man jumped after losing his job at the mall, but a Queens Center spokeswoman would not comment on whether he was employed there.
A witness said he was dressed in black, possibly in a uniform, and had been listening to headphones.
“It sounded like a tire popping, or a gun shot. Then we saw people running out,” said Connie Poonai, 45, the manager at Natural Looks Salon and Spa. “Everyone down here was running around, freaking out, screaming. It’s very upsetting, we’re all shaking.”
