Man Jumps Out of Fourth Floor Window in Wausau

Thursday, March 23rd, 2023 -- 4:00 PM

(Mike Leischner, WSAU) In a moment of paranoia, a man tied bedsheets together and jumped from a fourth-floor apartment window in downtown Wausau on Tuesday.

Police say the man had been drinking when he barricaded himself in his bedroom and told his roommate that the police were in the building looking for him. The roommate then heard the man jump from the window and called police.

When officers arrived they found him injured on the sidewalk along with some bedding that he'd tied together to act as a rope. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment, and as of Wednesday afternoon he was in serious condition.

Police add that there was a warrant out for his arrest, however- they were not in the building looking for him before he jumped out the window.
