Approximately 700 individuals are believed to have suffered injuries in the 'Street' area.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, an alarm was received for an assisted living facility on Aufderhöher Straße in Solingen. The incident that sparked the alert was a fall from a window, involving a 77-year-old woman.

According to reports, the woman fell approximately five meters from a first-floor window, landing on a metal grate outside the building. A passerby found the severely injured woman outside and immediately alerted the authorities.

Staff from the assisted living facility quickly responded, alerting the fire department and emergency services. The injured woman was given initial first aid before being transported to a hospital in critical condition.

The police have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident, but no specific details about the investigating unit have been released. The woman's condition has since improved, according to a police spokesperson, but her current health status remains undisclosed.

The impact of the fall bent the metal grate, but it is unclear whether this contributed to the woman's injuries. The woman is currently being treated in the intensive care unit.

The police are urging anyone with information relevant to the investigation to come forward. The community is hopeful for the woman's recovery and is offering support and prayers during this difficult time.
