A 19-year-old broke multiple bones, including her pelvis, after falling eight stories from a Staten Island housing project this morning. Sources tell the Staten Island Advance the woman and two others were trying to flee NYC Housing Authority cops, who had received reports of squatters. One man managed to shimmy down the wall to another floor, but when the woman attempted to leave, a source explained to the Advance, "As soon as she came out, she fell." A witness told the Daily News, "They tried to go down the cable wire like Spider-Man. They are stupid." The third man surrendered to the cops.
