PHILADELPHIA - A woman is in custody after police said she jumped from the window of her apartment where her two children were later found badly injured.

Officers in Wynnefield were called to 52nd and Jefferson Streets for reports of a woman who had jumped from the third-floor window of her apartment, according to an update from the department.

Police said a woman was found covered in blood and had a cut on her face. She would not speak with officers and twice tried to flee in a car and on a SETPA bus, investigators said.
