A disturbed young woman dangled herself from the roof of an East Harlem building yesterday morning before police hauled her in.
Three times the barefoot woman hung by her arms from the precipice of 1878 Lexington Ave. as stunned onlookers gathered below.
The 40-minute standoff began at around 10 a.m. as the woman lowered herself from the top of the five-story tenement.
Twice she pulled herself up and sat on the building's ledge with her eyes closed, rocking back and forth.
On her third swing over the edge, cops rushed to the ledge and grabbed her, dragging her to safety.
