NORWALK, Conn. (AP) - A Norwalk man has been hospitalized after he injured himself while trying to escape from police headquarters.

The Hour of Norwalk reports that police say Jester Gabriel-Lopez tried Sunday to scale the steel bars in the booking cage where he was held on assault charges.

Police say the 20-year-old man tried to break through the ceiling tiles but lost his grip at the top of the cage and fell, striking his head on the concrete floor. He was taken to Norwalk Hospital.

Gabriel-Lopez was arrested Sunday morning after his girlfriend told police he punched her repeatedly during an argument.
