Cops: Woman ‘jumped’ from 3rd floor Edgewater apartment window

What started with a series of alleged domestic battery calls, ended with a woman falling or jumping from a third floor apartment window.

Around 1:36 a.m., police were called to 5840 North Sheridan Road in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood.

An initial report indicated a woman was possibly being beaten by a man in a fourth floor apartment. Police never confirmed that allegation.

A minute later, at 1:37 a.m., another 911 caller stated a woman inside the building was screaming, hysterically.

At approximately 1:41 a.m., a third caller said a woman inside a third floor apartment was ill.

Several tenants reported a disturbance, but none of them were sure where the woman's cries were coming from. 

Before officers could gain entry into the 5-story building, a woman “jumped” from a third floor window, said an officer at the scene.

It is assumed that this was the same woman neighbors heard screaming.

Based on information obtained by Chicago News Report, the woman leapt from a window toward the rear of the property. Furthermore, it appears the woman was alone inside the apartment when the incident occurred.

Medical workers transported the woman to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Illinois, for treatment.
