## Caption

Officer Bradley Jett’s lawsuit says “emergency personnel” had already transported Rosemary Southwood, 76, away from her home in Southeast Portland’s Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood when he tried to shut the front door and lock it. But instead, the suit says, the door handle suddenly came loose, Jett lost his balance and he tumbled down “approximately six concrete steps” — breaking his finger and injuring his head, arm and shoulder.

There were no railings on either side of the steps, the suit says, and that’s a violation of Portland city code, which requires outside staircases with more than three steps — like the ones at Southwood’s home — to have a handrail.
