A first-year student and member of the football team remains hospitalized after he fell off a fence late Sunday night.
Witnesses said the accident occurred while the student was fleeing from the Harvard police.
Andrew L. St. Pierre '03, a resident of Danvers, MA., and of Wigglesworth Hall, along with at least two other first-years, was seen attempting to steal license plates off cars along Linden Streets, officials said.
Alerted by a 911 call to the Cambridge Police Department at 11:28 p.m., Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) officers began to chase the first-years.
Two of the students heeded police demands to stop, but St. Pierre continued running, turning into parking lot between 10 and 20 DeWolfe Street.
St. Pierre jumped over a wooden fence behind one of the dorms, landing on a ramp below and breaking his jaw and wrist.
The fall was about two stories, more than is apparent from the parking lot.
Standing behind the fence at night, it is nearly impossible to judge the distance of the drop.
