Dramatic moment 'drug dealer, 26,' falls more than 40 feet after climbing building in desperate escape from cops

This is the shocking moment an alleged street-level drug dealer jumped from an apartment building while attempting to flee from cops in northern Brazil.

The failed escape took place Sunday night when the Espirito Santo Military Police launched an operation to arrest neighborhood drug dealers after busting a teenager for the intent to sell narcotics in the municipality of Marechal Floriano.

The cops apprehended a 17-year-old boy with cocaine while he was headed to the building to make the sale to a 31-year-old man.

The agents then became distracted by noise coming from an apartment building, and when they up at a window on the third floor, they spotted two men attempting to flee.

One of the suspects jumped out and landed on the police SUV's rearview window and took of running.  

However, his accomplice, a 26-year-old man, did not fare as well; a smart phone video shows him trying to climb down and then losing his balance before hitting his head on the window.

The suspect, whose name was withheld by the Military Police, was rushed to Dr. Arthur Gerhardt Hospital, where he was treated for trauma.

He was later transferred to São Lucas Hospital and placed into the custody of  police.

The suspect narrowly avoided death when he landed on top of the police vehicle after slipping from the side of a building he was trying to climb down in a failed attempt to escape from cops. The man is currently hospitalized and under the watch of the police

Cops seized 295 crack rocks, 45 packages of cocaine, 10 grams of crack and 189 grams of cocaine paste from the apartment where the drug dealers were operating

One of the alleged drug dealers who did manage to escape landed on another police SUV's window before he took off running 

He is expected to be transferred to a local jail once he is healthy and eligible to be discharged.

A search of the home led to the seizure of 295 crack rocks, 45 packages of cocaine, 10 grams of crack and 189 grams of cocaine paste. Police also recovered $116.

Despite the arrest of the man who was allegedly going to meet the teen to buy the drugs, police decided to release him because they did not have enough proof that to accuse him of being in the act of making a purchase.

The teenager signed a logbook in which he confessed to being involved with drug trafficking activities and was released to his family.
