The 18-year-old fell about four metres to the ground and suffered significant head injuries.
She was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital where she remains in a critical condition.
A 27-year-old Kelvin Grove man has been charged with four domestic violence offences, attempted murder, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, and contravening a domestic violence order.
