A suicidal mom, 43 year old Gabriella Georgescu, holding her 9-year-old
daughter threatened to jump in front of an oncoming subway train in
Midtown, New York on Friday. According to the Police, Georgesc was
raving and ranting about killing herself and her child as she stood
close to the edge of the platform at 59th St. and Lexington Ave. just
before 5 p.m.
Alarmed passengers and an MTA worker who heard her
threats alerted the police. A plainclothes police officer arrived to
find Georgescu leaning near the gap as a northbound 6 train rolled into
the station, according to cops.
The officer quickly slapped cuffs on her before she could jump, an NYPD spokesman said.
Another officer grabbed the little girl, who had bruises on her back was
later taken into the custody of the city Administration for Child’s
Services. The bruises on the little girl's back, led cops to suspect
that she had been abused.
Georgescu, who is believed to have been visiting
a relative in the city at the time of her suicide attempt was taken to
Bellevue Hospital in New York to be evaluated, authorities said.
Police say she will be charged with reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.
