NEW YORK - In a stunt that annoyed and embarrassed police, a fleeing mugger ran into an office building and leaped from a 19th floor window to the building next door. It began when police responded to a robbery call. They chased the suspect for six blocks into an office building where he darted into an elevator. Arriving at the 19th floor a step ahead of the police, he ran through an office and jumped out the window. Witnesses thought the suspect had plummeted to his death, but instead he had grabbed a window air conditioner at the office building next door. Once inside the neighboring building, the suspect stole a delivery hat and apron and emerged in the lobby where he sauntered out of the building unnoticed. Said the police inspector, This was not your usual occurrence.
