A Mexican woman broke her ankles early Tuesday scaling the border fence in Douglas.

At 2 a.m., a Border Patrol agent working near the international line east of the Douglas port of entry on Jefferson Avenue heard faint yelling for help, said Mike Scioli, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman.

The agent found a woman who appeared to have injured her ankles. She was alone, he said.

The agent stabilized her and called for paramedics. When paramedics arrived, the 35-year-old woman from Guanajuato, Mexico, lost a pulse below her left ankle, prompting officials to call for a medical helicopter, Scioli said.

She was flown to University Medical Center in Tucson for treatment on the two broken ankles. Her condition is unknown.
