NEW YORK – The New York Police Department says a suspected shoplifter jumped through a window of a Times Square comic book store in an attempt to escape security guards.

Police say the man ran around the inside of Midtown Comics Tuesday afternoon before jumping through a window and falling two stories.

The comic book store says police are investigating and its staff is safe.

The NYPD says charges are pending.
