On Friday night, a 64-year-old woman leaped from her third-floor window in a Queens apartment to flee from her son, who was armed with a knife. Luckily, officials discovered her conscious and alert outside the building on Shore Boulevard near 20th Road around 9:15 p.m., according to the NYPD, per the New York Post.
Officials said she was transported to a local hospital and declared to be in stable condition.
Sources indicated that the woman jumped out the window to escape her son, who was threatening her with a knife. When authorities arrived, they suspected the son had locked himself inside the apartment. However, after hours, officers broke in and discovered the apartment was vacant.
No one has been apprehended as of yet and reports added that the son has over 30 previous arrests.
