The 31-year-old man crashed through the roof of the black Beemer 330i parked under 26 Journal Square at 10:20 a.m. Wednesday, then stood up with his right arm dangling to the side and asked, “What happened?” Christina Smith, 21, told the Post.

“I heard a loud bang and at first I didn’t think it was a person,” Smith said. “The back window of the car shattered, exploded.

Then the guy jumped out and started screaming. His arm was twisted.”

“I was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ I was in shock. It was like being in a movie,” said Smith, who works in sales and had walked to a nearby McDonald’s.

“It was like, ‘What happened?’ And it was like, you fell,” he said.

“I was thinking, thank God, it probably helped that I had a fluffy jacket,” he said, adding that he thought the coat might have protected him from deeper injuries.

He quickly called 911 and then took impressive photos and videos of the aftermath, including graphic images of the man screaming in pain with upper body injuries.

The man, who jumped from an open window on the ninth floor, was taken to a hospital by ambulance and was in critical condition Thursday.

The man did not work inside the building and it was unclear why he was there, workers and witnesses said.

He refused to give his name to police and had been uncooperative since Thursday afternoon, according to a source familiar with the case.

“He fell into the car through the sunroof, then got out of the car and fell to the ground. He was trying to get up, but people were trying to get him to stay on the ground. ‘You don’t know how hurt you are,'” said Mark Bordeaux, 50, who works in the building and saw the aftermath of the jump.

“So he stayed there until the police and ambulances arrived. He kept saying, ‘Leave me alone, I want to die.’ You could clearly see that one of his arms was broken, but he was conscious, he was moving,” she said.
