Attempted Suicide: Around 3:48 p.m. on Dec. 4, a 13-year-old girl jumped from the balcony from the fifth floor balcony of her Pelham Road apartment. Police say there was a domestic dispute between the girl, her sister and her mother.
When paramedics arrived at the scene the girl was alert and conscious but complained of back and leg pain. She was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx and was treated for a broken arm and a broken leg.
Residents told police they heard two females having a dispute inside the apartment and saw a female outside by herself.
Police said the girl is known to them. The incident is still under investigation. Because the girl is a juvenile, police cannot release her name or any further information.
