Hostage Drama
The call originated as a jumper on the NW corner of 79th Street and York Ave.
As I rode to the address, I pictured a body covered by the customary white sheet.
As I approached, I saw ESU officers deploying the massive air mattress. Now the story goes from a jumper to a domestic dispute where the husband threatens to jump from the 4th floor window.
As time passed, I came to the realization, the jump was not going to happen. Whether the suspect was coming out dead or alive I knew my line of sight was blocked by the inflated airbag.
K9 was sent in to diffuse the situation and at that time the airbag was deflated.
What do you think of this story?
