We bring to you another weird news from Turkey, this time around its about a police man and his negligence to duty.
A policeman has been caught taking a selfie, during which a man prepared to jump to his death from a bridge.
During the desperate man's final moments, the cop is said to have been seen posing for a snapshot just feet away.
The man is caught in the background of the policeman's shot, clinging to the bridge in Istanbul, Turkey.
Just seconds later he leapt almost 600ft to his death, after attempts by other officers to talk him down failed.

But a picture of the policeman's heartless selfie has sparked fury in Turkey, and the officer in question now faces an investigation.
The man who jumped from the bridge was later named as Sadrettin Saskın.
The 35-year-old was said to have been struggling with money problems.
Police spokesman Maksud Calik: "It was his third suicide attempt. Highly trained negotiators were trying to talk him into coming back onto the bridge when he suddenly let go and fell."
But critics say the sight of a uniformed officer in high-visibility gear talking selfies with him as the background could have pushed him over the edge.
Do you blame the police man or the man who wants to end his life?
