Police had raided the apartment as part of its crackdown on illegal residents. The man, identified as Lwayanga Hashim Madilu, had his visit visa expired in February this year.
According to a reliable source, the 33-year-old man was inside his apartment when CID officials knocked on his door at around 3.30am. Sensing it was a police raid, Madilu made a desperate attempt to flee by rushing to the balcony and jumping out. He fell on the windscreen of a car parked below, and tumbled down to the ground, the source said.
An eyewitness said the man was lying on the road in a pool of blood until the police shifted him to Maktoum Hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries on way to the hospital.
Ismail Kikomeko, Chairman of African Community Association, said the man’s body will be sent to his native place after completion of legal proceedings.
Meanwhile, the police have arrested around 30 illegal residents, most of them of African and Asian origin, from the building, Khaleej Times has learnt.
A police source disclosed that the raid was conducted on a tip-off that the building had become a haven for illegal residents.
Those arrested have reportedly been detained at the police headquarters in Al Qusais.
It is learnt that the police had also conducted a raid last week in a building located in the same area and had arrested 80 illegal residents, mostly of African origin.
Sources estimate that over 500 people of African origin have been arrested and deported since the beginning of this month. They are expected to be deported soon.
