YEREVAN, DECEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. A Russian woman arrested in Yerevan on suspicion of disorderly conduct has attempted to escape from police custody by jumping out of a window, authorities said Wednesday.
The suspect, Y. Maximovskaya, a citizen of Russia, was arrested by police last week for disorderly conduct in Yerevan. She’s been jailed in pre-trial detention since.
As part of the criminal proceedings initiated by the Investgiative Committee’s Erebuni and Nubarashen Department in Yerevan, the suspect was taken to questioning on December 12. Around 21:30, the suspect asked the detectives if she could use the restroom. She was escorted there by the detective, who waited outside.
The suspect attempted to escape the detention facility by jumping out of a small window in the restroom. She fell on a roof and sustained injuries. The woman is now being treated at a hospital for spinal disc trauma, the Investigative Committee said in a press release.
A criminal case on attempted prison escape has been initiated.
