Some people here will keep their head in the sand and pretend this only happens to "stupid, careless" people but truth is Medellin has gotten more dangerous recently. A shame because I loved my trip there but this will definitely make me think twice before rebooking.

Disturbingly, some onlookers were apparently urging him to jump. Extranjero, but not sure what country he was from as he has a Spanish name.

Entry tax.
As of November 14,2023, you must pay an entry fee equivalent to $85 CAD in Colombian Pesos upon arrival in Colombia. You can only pay by credit card. The payment must be made upon entering the country during the immigration control process. There could be significant delays to make the payment, which could disrupt your travel plans.
You don't have to pay this entry tax if:
Your destination is the archipelago of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina.
You have a valid Colombian visa.
You are less than 14 years of age or more than 79 years old.
You are a member of the crew of international transport means (conditions apply).

I was walking through the North Stroll in SF and all of a sudden there was a cop reaching into my jacket pocket from behind and he took my jack knife-- that was it-- no other interaction.
Once late at night a cop asked me to empty my pockets on Calle 19 and kept one of my lighters-- LOL-- he did ask to keep it.
Another time I was walking with this big mouth fat Chicago Polish dude who likes to because-play as a pimp-- he had like 2 million or so on him and the cop made him take him to his apartment and he found a bullet in there and dude had to pay him like 300 mil or so-.
A few times I have been rousted for smoking a J -- ended up giving a bribe.

I highly doubt he would get arrested for carrying a pocket knife even if the cops did search him and find it, worse case scenario is pay a bribe and it gets confiscated.
