A man was arrested after allegedly pushing his 68-year-old grandmother to her death from the 21st-floor balcony of an apartment building, police said.
Witnesses said the man, identified as Rashaan Lamb, 24, looked over the railing and wiped his hands after the woman plunged to her death. Police withheld the woman’s name until they could notify relatives.
Lamb was arrested after he subsequently jumped from the balcony but was caught in a police net that was stretched from the floors above and below and hauled back into the building.
