Suicide Victim Jumps, Lands On NYC Shopper

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― Authorities say a woman jumping to her death landed on a teenager at a New York City mall, causing injuries that sent him to a hospital.

The lower level of the Queens Center Mall was packed with high school students on spring break when the incident occurred Wednesday.

A relative said 17-year-old Derrick MuInoz was briefly knocked unconscious and had a large gash on his head. He is a student at Amityville High School on Long Island.

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said the woman was in her early to mid-50s. She was with two teenagers when she plunged several stories.
