ASTORIA — An NYPD officer responding to a domestic violence call in Astoria Friday afternoon broke her leg after a man pushed her down a flight of stairs, police said.

The officer, who joined the NYPD in 2005 and was part of the Domestic Violence Unit, was treated for the fractured leg at Cornell Hospital, officials said.
Police said a suspect was in custody Friday evening, and charges were pending.
