Lawsuit after foiled suicide attempt from Eiffel Tower?

I heard awhile back, that a man jumped off the Eiffel Tower, and on a level or 2 down a policeman managed to grab him and save his life. After that the man sued the policeman. Is this a true story or an urban legend?

I found no listing for an Eiffel Tower incident on Snopes.

Or anything similar, that I can find.
