The Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team is investigating after a woman sustained injuries while being arrested.

Halifax Regional Police say the 25-year-old woman was found by two officers Friday in an apartment in Fairview they were visiting for another reason.

The officers knew the woman was wanted for arrest, but she entered another apartment as they tried to apprehend her.

Police say the woman was next seen on the ground outside the apartment, apparently having jumped from a window.

She was taken to hospital with fractures in her back, pelvis and wrist.
