Man Jumps from Police Stationhouse Window

NEW YORK -- Police were searching Friday for a man who jumped out a third-floor stationhouse window to escape questioning about a deadly shooting.

The 27-year-old man had been handcuffed and the window closed, but he managed somehow to slip out the window onto an adjacent building Thursday afternoon and ran off, police said.

Police dashed out of the 103rd Precinct station in Queens and charged up a fire escape to the roof to look for the man, said witness Stephanie Ortiz, 21. She said she asked an officer what had happened and was told, "You don't want to know. Something really bad.''

Despite a vigorous search, the man was still at large early Friday, police said.

Officers were questioning him about the death of Darnell Angevine, 25, of Amityville, who was fatally shot in the chest during a July 28 dispute on a Queens street.
