The Not-So-Great Escape
Check out this guy, police are coming to question him about an assault complaint so he tries to escape from police through a window. The problem? He forgets that he’s 23 floors up from the pavement.
BRONX, N.Y. (WCBS) - An astonishing attempted escape from the police in the Bronx Wednesday morning left a suspect dangling from the side of a high-rise, 23 stories above the ground.
It wasn’t a typical sighting for New Yorkers walking outside or living across from the Soundview apartment tower.
“I started to think, ‘What’s wrong? Is he trying to commit suicide or something?’” said Alex Morales, who, along with his wife Patricia witnessed the suspect’s crazy antics.
“No, nothing’s wrong, I’m just cleaning for dust bunnies. Those little bastards breed like, heh, rabbits. I made a joke.”
It gets worse. A neighbor whipped out their video camera and caught the whole thing on tape where the local friendly neighborhood TV station was more than happy to put it on the air. The neighbor now has a development deal with Dreamworks.
Correra was taken under arrest without harm and charged with assault, violating an order of protection, hanging around and encouraging bad puns.
