June 2024 ยท 3 minute read

The moment a suspected rapist tried to jump from a sixth-floor hotel window when confronted by police was captured on the officer's body camera. 

Onjre Damon George, 20,  was being questioned by officers at the Quality Inn hotel in Blue Ash, Ohio when he tried to flee on Sunday. 

When one officer tried to handcuff George, the suspect ran back into the room and jumped into the closed window, bouncing off the glass and landing on the floor. 

George then returns to his feet and warns the officer that he is going to jump. 

However, when the suspect realised the officer had drawn a Taser and was pointing the device towards him, George said he did not want to be shocked and began complying with the officer's directions.

Officers arrested George on suspicion of assault, kidnapping and rape, after they were alerted by a member of hotel staff. 

The footage showed the build-up to George's attempted escape. One officer asked the suspect: 'Did something happen between you and her last night?'

The officer warned George to take his hands out of his pockets. The officer then ordered George 'to come over here for a second'.

As George sprinted through the hotel room, the officer asked: 'Where are you going?'

George jumped and bounced off the window before telling the officer: 'I'm going to jump. I'm going to jump.'

The officer responded by drawing a weapon from his holster.
