An Astoria, Queens woman, 64, jumped from her third-floor apartment window to escape her son, who allegedly threatened her with a knife. The incident occurred just after 9 p.m. yesterday, and authorities responded to the scene near 20th Road and Shore Boulevard.
Asabc7NY reports, the woman sustained a broken leg from her desperate leap for safety, and witnesses describe seeing the injured mother on the ground being tended to by local children, who helped alert law enforcement and medical services. One woman said at the scene, “She was on the ground, there were two little kids over her. One of them was the neighbor, and they called the cops and then the ambulance took her off the ground and put her in,” giving account of the immediate aftermath, and hinted at ongoing disturbances by adding that “I’m not surprised because I heard the screaming yesterday morning and they’re constantly fighting.”
Further details fromPIX11 Newsunderline that the woman’s son, a 36-year-old man with a substantial track record of over 30 prior arrests, had fled prior to police arrival. The NYPD continued searching for the suspect, confirming he had not stayed barricaded in the apartment after the altercation.
