Mother jumps from NYC apartment to escape son with knife in Queens: Sources

QUEENS - The NYPD is currently investigating a woman who apparently jumped from a third floor window in Queens Friday night.

Police said they found the 64-year-old woman lying on the ground with a broken leg at 20-45 Shore Boulevard in Astoria around 9:00 p.m.

FOX 5 NY's Duarte Geraldino spoke to neighbors who said they heard fighting and that the woman's boyfriend found her on the ground outside. 

"She was banging on the walls, screaming for help, and then it just went silent. Next thing you know she was lying on the ground," one neighbor said. 

Neighbors said she was so afraid of her own son that she jumped from her third-story window to escape him. 

"If it was concrete, she would have died," a neighbor said. 

The Post also reports that when police arrived, they believed the son had barricaded himself inside the apartment. They say the son has more than 30 prior arrests.

The woman was transported to Elmhurst Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
