POLICE RESPOND TO AUTISTIC CHILD FALL FROM WINDOW

From Maplewood Police today:



On 06/30/14, at approximately 9:00 AM, the Maplewood 
Police Department received a 911 call from a resident on 
S. 4th St.  
 
 The father of a 15 year old autistic male reported that 
his son had fallen from his bedroom window.   
 
Officers arrived on scene and found the juvenile laying outside on the 
ground alert but complaining of pain to his leg and hip.   
 
A detective also responded to the scene and spoke with family members 
and performed an initial investigation.   
 
At this time there are no signs of foul play and it appears 
the juvenile may have attempted to jump from his 3rd story window to a 
tree that is just outside of the window.   
 
The juvenile was transported to UMDNJ by the Maplewood Fire Department 
for treatment of his injuries that appear to be none life threatening
