EAST NEW YORK — A 52-year-old woman plunged 18 stories to her death from a Spring Creek Towers building Tuesday morning, officials said.

The victim, whose identity was not released, fell from her 18th floor window at 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue about 7:20 a.m., police and EMS officials said.

She was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, an FDNY spokesman said. Police said the woman died a short time later.

There is no criminality suspected, police said, and the incident is being investigated as a suicide.
