Police in the Bronx waited out a man accused of stabbing his girlfriend as he stood on a window ledge for over 13 hours in his briefs starting at 3:30 a.m. this morning. Police believe that Rodulfo Jones stabbed girlfriend Carmen Valez inside her University Avenue apartment in Kingsbridge before climbing onto the 4th floor ledge when they arrived. Valez is currently in critical condition. Jones's standoff attracted the attention of over 200 onlookers and prompted police to set up airbags below before eventually talking him down. A witness says police were nothing but calm in dealing with the suspect, perhaps being extra cautious in the wake of September's Taser tragedy.
