Police are investigating the fall of a woman who they say fell multiple stories from a Washington, D.C. apartment building with her legs tied together.
Duncan Bedlion, the Commander of the Metropolitan Police Department, confirmed that the woman, whose identity has not been released, was found by authorities after witnesses called 911.
When officials arrived to the scene, police found the woman with “rope or some type of item” tied around her legs, PEOPLE reported.
The woman was taken to the hospital with “significant injuries,” Bedlion added, and is currently listed in “stable” and “being treated,” though in “critical condition.”
Bedlion said that a male suspect was arrested after he returned “distraught” to the scene of the crime and gave information that ended up leading to his arrest.
His identity has not been released to the public.
The woman’s fall comes after police had issued an Amber Alert for a missing 1-year-old child, which they now believe the child is related to the victim and suspect.
Authorities found the toddler safe with another family member in the area but could not say how they got to that location.
“We thank the public for the help, [and] I thank the officer and everyone here who helped us [in] tracking down this 1½-year-old child,” Bedlion said.
