ELMHURST, IL – Police saw a man and a woman, both 18, performing what seemed like a dangerous stunt in a downtown parking deck, according to a report.

About 7:30 p.m. Monday, police witnessed the pair on surveillance cameras on the top floor of the parking deck at 145 N. Addison Ave. The city prohibited public access there a couple of years ago.

The Elk Grove Village woman was seen standing on the top ledge while the Park Ridge man held her sweatshirt to prevent her from falling, police said.
