NYPD officers were chasing two black teens suspected of smoking marijuana in a building lobby.
A teenager fell six stories from a rooftop in the Bronx while fleeing New York Police Department officers on Thursday night.
The teen fell off the building while he was being chased by two officers, Eduard Solano and Edmundo Rivera, for allegedly smoking marijuana in the lobby, the NYPD said.
The incident occurred around 7:35 p.m. ET on Thursday when a man informed four officers on foot patrol in the Bronx that a large group of teens (16-19 years old) was smoking marijuana in a building lobby.
One of the group's members tried to block the entrance of the building giving the others a chance to escape, police said. Two officers stayed in the lobby, while Solano and Rivera chased several members of the group up to the building's roof.
The officers saw two of the group's members running away and commanded them to stop. One of the teens, described by police as a 17-year-old black male, climbed over a two to three foot wall to escape while another tried to support him but lost his footing.
