A despondent man jumped to his death from the Empire State Building yesterday, police said.
"An employee in my office yelled out, 'Oh my God! A big black bird just went past the window,' " said David Burgos, 27, who works on the 60th floor.
"He ran to the window and saw it was a body."
A security camera recorded the suicidal Dovid Abramowitz buying a ticket to the 86th floor observation deck at around 3 p.m., police said.
Abramowitz, 21, who lived on Grand Street on the Lower East Side, got off the elevator at the 66th floor.
He entered a vacant office, opened the window and jumped, police said.
He landed on a sixth- floor parapet facing 34th Street.
Cops did not say if he left a note.
He is believed to be the 34th person to jump to his death from the building since it opened in 1931
