SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) — A woman died after she was thrown off the third floor of a building in San Ysidro by her boyfriend Monday night, according to the San Diego Police Department.
Around 7:22 p.m., authorities responded to a 911 call of an individual who had fallen from the third floor of the San Ysidro Senior Village, located on W San Ysidro Boulevard, near Averil Road.
Upon arrival, first responders immediately assisted the woman on the scene and transported her to a nearby hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
Authorities told ABC 10News a man was arrested at the scene for allegedly throwing the victim from the third floor of the building. Police later confirmed the woman was thrown from a third-floor walkway of the apartment building during a fight with her boyfriend.
