It is not yet clear how he slipped and fell from the footbridge as the footbridge has protective rails on both sides.
He is, however, believed to have climbed up the rails before he fell.
According to a local tabloid, a number of people who witnessed the incident allegedly did not offer to assist Vincent or call the ambulance considering the gravity of his injuries.
Instead, scores of people reportedly chose to turn to their phones and took turns to record Vincent whilst he was suffering in pain.
Vincent only started to receive assistance after one of the good samaritans called his wife who later called the paramedics and the ambulance.
He is currently recuperating at Parirenyatwa Hospital.
