Queens man still in tree after climbing up two days ago to avoid arrests
[NYPost] A 44-year-old man wanted for an alleged assault remains in a tree on 145th Avenue in Jamaica, Queens.
This guy's escape attempt is getting pretty squirrelly.
A Queens man who tried to avoid arrest by climbing into a tree Wednesday, refused to come down for more than 48 hours, police said Friday.
The 44-year-old man, who was wanted in connection to an alleged assault, has camped out in the tree outside a home on 145th Avenue in Jamaica since 2 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
He had been peeing in the tree and surviving off some food and glucose pack officers gave him Thursday, according to police sources.
The cops had put the provisions on the roof and the 44-year-old jumped over to grab them, but quickly returned to his perch, the sources said.
At one point overnight, though, sources said the man was eating leaves.
Neighbors told cops that the man has often hidden in that tree, according to sources.
