A Kingston Public Hospital source has identified the man who jumped from a third floor window at the hospital Friday morning as Corey Saunders.

Mr. Saunders was impaled on the spikes of the hospital gates and was also entangled in the razor barbed wire on top.

The source said Mr. Saunders who is of a Kingston address, was in wheeled into the operating theatre for surgery after jumping from the ledge.

Mr. Saunder's injuries are reportedly not life threatening, however, both of his hands are broken and preliminary x-rays reveal severe damage to his spine.

According to reports, Mr. Saunders was admitted to hospital after he was shot and wounded last Wednesday during a confrontation with the police.

Details on that incident were unavailable, however, Mr. Saunders who is believed to be mentally challenged reportedly attacked the police with a knife while he was being restrained.

Prior to jumping from the hospital window, medical personnel tried to sedate Mr. Saunders.

However, he threatened to splash urine on anyone who came near to him.
