GRAND ISLAND
Man jumps from town court
Authorities say a 20-year-old man is hospitalized after he apparently tried to commit suicide by jumping from the second floor of a court where he had just been arraigned on assault charges.
Erie County Sheriff Timothy Howard says deputies had properly secured Sean Riordan and were leading him out of Town of Grand Island Court late Monday morning when he bolted and jumped over a railing on the second floor.
Howard says Riordan fell about 15 feet to the first floor. He was taken to Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, where he’s listed in stable condition.
The sheriff says the incident is being investigated.
Authorities say Riordan was arrested Saturday at his Grand Island home after his roommate reported being stabbed by Riordan during an argument.
