Cops rescue woman stuck between Noho buildings after she fell into roof gap

A woman became trapped between two buildings when she tumbled 15 feet down a roof gap in Noho — and her pals didn’t miss her because they assumed she had just gone home, according to reports Tuesday.

The 36-year-old victim was finally rescued after residents near the Mott Street scene between Bleecker and Houston streets in Manhattan heard her crying for help around 4:30 a.m. Sunday and called 911, CBS said.

Responding cops eventually traced her to where she was trapped between the buildings, and an EMS crew smashed through a third-floor wall of one of them to free her, the report said.

“I want to shout out to PO Barone and PO Manel–they responded to a 911 call for a person yelling for help,” the commanding officer of the NYPD’s Ninth Precinct, Capt. John O’Connell, said in a tweet. “In their canvass and relentless follow up they discovered a person who fell 15 ft. between 2 buildings and remained trapped. @NYPDSpecialops ESU then freed the person.”

The tweet was accompanied by four clapping-hand emojis and photos of the skinny building gap and smashed-in wall.

The woman told cops she had been hanging out with friends on the roof of one of the buildings when a covering collapsed under her as she was walking and she fell into the gap, ABC said. 

Her pals didn’t realize what happened because they assumed she had just left, the report said.

The woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation, ABC said.
