A suspect was arrested after a woman fell out of an apartment complex on the 4500 block of Connecticut Avenue, NW, shortly after 7:00 p.m. The victim reportedly had a rope tied around her legs.
Officers arrived at the scene on April 21 to find the woman suffering from significant injuries and took her to a local hospital. As of a press conference later that night, she was in critical but stable condition.
“As officers were investigating and trying to determine information, a suspect arrived on the scene. He was distraught. He provided some information that lead us to believe that he was a suspect in this case and he has since been placed under arrest,” Second District Commander Duncan Bedlion said during the press conference.
The one-and-a-half-year-old child of the victim and suspect was reported missing in relation to the incident but later found with a family member.
A firearm was recovered from the apartment building. Bedlion also confirmed there were reptiles taken from the apartment and handed over to animal control.
