E. Side ‘suicide’ drama

It was high drama some 200 feet up yesterday as a deranged woman threatened to jump from an Upper East Side apartment building and police tried to save her life.

The woman made her threat to end it all at about 4 p.m. yesterday at 500 E. 85th St. as she dangled halfway out a 21st-floor window.

Cops talked to the wildly gesturing woman from a nearby window, trying to calm her down and coax her back inside. One officer stuck his head out and tried to ease her mind.

The police efforts were eventually successful, and the unidentified woman crawled back inside and was taken into custody at about 5:30 p.m.

The woman was unhurt, and she was taken to New York Hospital for observation, police said.
