A nearly 15-hour standoff appeared to be over early Tuesday morning after a robbery suspect who climbed atop a construction crane on the campus of Southern Methodist University fell 150 feet to the ground, CNN affiliate WFAA TVreported.
Police did not comment on the man's condition, the station said.
The man was seen hanging from the side of the crane's cab about 1:45 a.m. (2:45 a.m. ET ) when he fell.
About an hour later, SMU issued an alert.
"The SMU campus is open, and all buildings will be open during normal business hours today," the alert said. "Details will be available later today from Dallas Police regarding a man who occupied a construction crane on the SMU campus."
