An attempted burglary suspect injured his leg when he scaled down to the 12th floor of an apartment building downtown and tried to kick in a window, San Diego police said.
The 39-year-old suspect scaled down from a common area above the condominium at the El Cortez and sliced his Achilles tendon while kicking in the window, police said.
Police said the suspect was pretending to be a contractor.
He never made it into the home on Seventh Avenue and Ash Street.
The man was taken to the hospital to be treated for a possibly sliced Achilles tendon.
The suspect will be charged with attempted burglary, police said.
