Man in 60s jumps to his death from Point Fermin

A man in his 60s jumped to his death Tuesday from a San Pedro cliff, police said.

Witnesses saw the man at Point Fermin Park in the 800 block of Paseo del Mar shortly before 10 a.m. and tried to talk him out of jumping, but he leaped before police and firefighters arrived, Los Angeles police Sgt. Jeff Hamilton said.

Firefighters responded from land, sea and air, city fire spokeswoman Katherine Main said.
