The woman, whose name was not released, was sitting on her window ledge when she toppled over –– frightening bystanders below.

Anthony Ruggerio, 50, was smoking a cigarette on his lunch break when he heard a noise.

“It was loud. Like rocks falling on the platform above me,” he told the Post. “I turned, I ducked, when I turned back there was a lady on the floor. She turned to her side and [groaned]. I thought she was dead.”

Dante McFarlane, 22, saw the aftermath of the horror, “I was shocked. I went inside [the store] came back out and she was on the floor.”

Cops said she struck a second-floor terrace before landing on cardboard boxes on the street-level.
