A 76-year-old woman cheated death Friday when she survived accidentally falling out of her Upper East Side apartment window and plummeting seven stories, according to cops.

Police were notified about a woman who fell from a window at on East 81st St. and 1st Ave. in Manhattan just before noon, police said.

The woman, whose name was not released, was sitting on her window ledge when she toppled over –– frightening bystanders below.

Anthony Ruggerio, 50, was smoking a cigarette on his lunch break when he heard a noise.

“It was loud. Like rocks falling on the platform above me,” he told the Post. “I turned, I ducked, when I turned back there was a lady on the floor. She turned to her side and [groaned]. I thought she was dead.”

Dante McFarlane, 22, saw the aftermath of the horror, “I was shocked. I went inside [the store] came back out and she was on the floor.”

Cops said she struck a second-floor terrace before landing on cardboard boxes on the street-level.

She was taken to Weill Cornell Hospital where she is being treated for a broken ankle, police said.
