A man jumped to his death from the roof of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City on Thursday night.

NYPD spokesman Lt. Thomas Antonetti confirmed to PEOPLE that the incident happened just after 9 p.m. local time at 80 Columbus Circle.

“He is seen on video walking into the hotel, then takes the elevator to the top, makes his way to the roof and jumps from the roof,” Antonetti told PEOPLE.

Antonetti said there didn’t appear to be anything that had happened outside the hotel that contributed to him going to the roof, ‘like an argument on the street.”
