A 26-year-old woman was tossed off the balcony of a second floor apartment Saturday night during a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, police said. The boyfriend, Brett Picciotti, 26, of Dover Avenue, was charged with attempted murder in connection with the incident, police said. The woman was not identified. Investigators said the two began arguing in the Woodhollow Drive apartment of a mutual friend’s at around 6:30 p.m. Saturday. During the dispute, Picciotti is alleged to have tried to strangle the woman and then pick her up and throw her off a second story balcony, police said. The woman landed on the ground outside her apartment building and was then assisted by two pedestrians who called 911, police said. The woman was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden for treatment of unspecified injuries. She was reported in fair condition on Monday, police said. Picciotti fled the apartment building immediately after throwing his girlfriend off the balcony, police said. He was arrested later that evening at a home of a family member in Brigantine and then lodged in Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly on $250,000.
Mount Holly isn’t it in New Jersey?
