An elderly New York City man fell to his death after climbing out of a window to escape a home invasion over the weekend.
The incident happened in Washington Heights near 161st Street and Broadway at about 4:40 a.m. on Saturday when three burglars broke into an apartment. One suspect had scaled a fire escape and climbed through a window before letting in the two others, according to the New York Post and NBC 4.
The burglars tied up a 40-year-old man before stealing a gold chain valued around $8,000 and about $200 in cash, New York City police said, according to reports.
