A woman shredded her arms as she shattered a window in an attempt to jump from her Prospect-Lefferts Gardens apartment on July 18.
Police were called to the apartment building on Beekman Place near Flatbush Avenue at 8:56 am, after she broke her bedroom window, slashing her wrists and forearms in the process, cops said.
The woman was threatening to leap from her first floor apartment — a drop of about 10–12 feet — when officers burst in and stopped her from further harming herself, according to police.
She was rushed in an ambulance to Kings County Hospital, where her wounds were treated and she underwent a psychological evaluation, cops said.
