Update: Teen Jumps From Top Floor of Parking Deck

A 16-year-old Upper Moreland boy suffered serious injuries after he leaped off of the top floor of a three-story parking garage at Willow Grove Park Mall yesterday at about 8:30 p.m., according to an Abington Police Department press release.

According to the release, an investigation indicates that the 16-year-old was with three others when he began to “act oddly and may have been hallucinating.” The boy then climbed out of his car and ran “full speed and leaped off of the deck.”

The incident is still under investigation; an Abington Police Department employee said today, “There are no more details right now.”

The manager of the Abington Police Department's records room said police have not released the teen's name. 

According to the press release, the 16-year-old boy was transported to Abington Memorial Hospital.

Linda Millevoi, director of media relations at Abington Memorial Hospital, said, "The family is requesting that we not release any information [regarding the incident]."

There was no police presence at the parking deck at about 10 a.m.; no part of the parking deck was cordoned off, and there was no activity on the ground floor.
