Woman fighting for life after Erdington flat plunge – two arrested for attempted murder

A woman is fighting for her life after she was allegedly thrown out of a third floor window in a block of flats in Erdington.

The 24-year-old fell from a tower block in Birmingham on Saturday evening, around 7pm, and was rushed to hospital, where she remains  in a seriously critical condition.

She was treated at the scene in Tower Road by paramedics before being taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. It is believed the injured woman suffered multiple fractures after being hurled out of the building.

Responding to the incident, police have arrested a man, 30, and a woman, 28, on suspicion of attempted murder.

Police detectives have been working at the site of the incident since Saturday, investigating the circumstances around the fall; as officers were photographed placing a forensic tarpaulin over an area outside the residence.

A source told reporters: “It looks like she was thrown out – they just hurled her out of the block.

“It’s a miracle she’s still here, it must be touch and go.”

West Midlands Police said: “The 24-year-old was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

“A 28-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

“The woman is also being questioned on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.”
