GAINESVILLE - A woman from Gainesville is recovering after having to jump for her life.

     The woman who does not want to release her name says she's never gotten into a fight like this with her long-time boyfriend.

    But after an argument she says he showed her a knife.

     To get away she jumped from a second story window in her home, landed on her car, and drove away.

     She says she just knew she had to get away, and quick.

     "I closed my eyes and jumped and got out of there. I thought, I don't know what's going on but I'm not going to turn around."

     But the chase did not end there.

     The man latched onto her car and fell off when she made a sharp turn.

    He is said to be physically fine, but has bigger worries -- he was charged aggravated battery.
