Police help

A University police officer aided a St. Paul woman Monday evening after she injured herself performing a stunt near the Washington Avenue Parking Ramp.

According to police reports, the woman jumped from the ground and swung from a high restriction pole at the west entrance of the parking ramp shortly after 7 p.m.

The woman reportedly fell to the ground after the pole slipped from her hands. She hit her head on the concrete pavement, according to police reports.

A University police officer who witnessed the incident helped the woman, who incurred minor injuries from the botched gymnastic feat. She reportedly suffered blurred vision and dizziness from the accident.

The officer called medical emergency staff and the woman was transported to Regents Hospital in St. Paul for medical attention.

The St. Paul woman is not affiliated with the University.
