A prostitute jumped to her death from a third-floor window atop a Queens building while trying to escape arrest during an NYPD sting operation, cops said Sunday.
The 38-year-old woman was working in an apartment above a massage parlor on 40th Road near Main Street in Flushing Saturday night, when she agreed to perform a sex act for pay on an undercover officer, cop sources said.
She bolted out a window when the cop’s backup tried to enter the apartment and arrest her, cops said.
Other officers posted outside watched as she plummeted to the sidewalk below at about 9:30 p.m., cops said.
Medics rushed her to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Queens with severe head and body trauma, where she died Sunday.
Her name has not been released, and the city medical examiner will determine her cause of death.
The undercover officer was part of a sting operation by the Queens North Vice Enforcement Division, police said.
The woman died just one floor up from the site of a gruesome 2010 killing in the same building. On Jan. 26, 2010, Huang Chen ended a years-long campaign of harassment and terror against Qian Wu, 46, beating and choking her before carving out her heart and lungs.
Chen, who was angry that Wu couldn't get her a job through her employment agency, is serving a 29-year prison sentence for the slaying.
