Newark, New Jersey - Two teenage girls were undergoing surgery this morning for injuries sustained when they fell some 50 feet while trying to climb down from a Newark highrise overnight, police said.
The 14-year-old girls, caught by a parent with alcohol Wednesday night, were trying to escape the adult's anger by tying together sheets on a fifth-floor window and rappelling the building at 860 S. 11th St., said Detective Todd McClendon, a police spokesman.
"At some point during their descent both girls fell from the sheets and suffered various broken bones and severe bruises," said McClendon said. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Walter Drake
