A man who jumped out of a building window trying to escape police on Watford High Street was hospitalised with serious injuries.
At around 7pm on Thursday, June 11, two officers attempted to break through an apartment door, shouting for half an hour, before they eventually collapsed the entrance. This is when the man proceeded to jump out of the apartment window, a whole two storeys high.
Despite the suspect’s best efforts to flee police, he ended up in a pool of his own blood and on the floor in pain, unable to run away.
Hertfordshire Police confirmed the suspect was confirmed to have bail conditions, prohibiting him to enter the Watford address.
One resident from within the flat block said: “A woman who was walking past had to tell him to stay still and stop trying to get up.
“Half of the building were nearly out of their own windows trying to see what was going on!”
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Police said: “Officers were carrying out a welfare check at an address on The Parade, Watford. When officers arrived, a man who had bail conditions not to be at the address attempted to flee the area and fell from a height.
“He was taken to hospital with serious injuries.”
Police, ambulance, and fire and rescue teams attended the scene
