California man falls off Bridge after attempting to throw wife over!

A California man who plunged from a San Francisco Bay bridge was trying to throw his wife off when he went over instead, according to a prosecutor.

Authorities say Xavier McClinton, 47 was driving over the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge with his wife of eight years when he violently began crashing his car in an attempt to go over the edge, NBC reports.
When the car hit a barrier and came to a stop, McClinton grabbed his wife, pulled her out of the vehicle and tried to throw her off the bridge into the water. She was then narrowly tossed over the edge when Good Samaritans were able to grab her legs and hold on. McClinton, however, went over, falling about 15 feet into the water.

He was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard and arraigned on one felony count each of attempted murder and domestic violence.
