Video shows PA mall thief try to escape by jumping from second floor

Willow Brook, PA — A robbery at a Pennsylvania Apple store went downhill when the suspect apparently injured himself.

Video captures the moment he tried to escape, by jumping from the second floor of the mall.

As the saying goes, crime doesn't pay, and it also can be painful.

Police say the man tried to make a getaway after a robbery at the Apple store in the Willow Grove Mall on April 13th.

He tumbles to the ground, breaking his pelvis and tail bone.

He tries to limp away, but the pain is too much, and he lays sprawled on the mall floor.

The video has gone viral on the internet and is part of the police investigation.

Abington Police say the suspect, Abdi Wasuge, reportedly acted like a customer at the Apple store and said he wanted to purchase two MacBook Pro laptops, an iPhone 14 and some accessories.

Instead of buying the items, police say he snatched them and tried to run out of the store, but a good Samaritan engaged Wasuge.

A struggle ensued and police say Wasuge threatened the good Samaritan, saying “back off or I’ll shoot you.”

He dropped the stolen goods and then made his getaway, that is until he plunged onto the hard tile floor.

Police say Wasuge also faces charges of simple assault, terroristic threats and harassment.
