Police: 4-Year-Old In Critical Condition After Falling From Balcony In The Bronx
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A 4-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital Saturday after falling 10 stories from a balcony in the Bronx.
Police say the boy fell from a building on Noble Avenue in the Parkchester section just before 2:30 p.m.
As CBS2’s Kiran Dhillon reports, the circumstances that led to the fall are unclear right now.
Neighbors say they’ve heard the boy may have been on a chair on the balcony before he fell. They also say an off-duty officer rushed in to help.
“There’s an officer lives in the building. He ran down and gave him mouth-to-mouth. The ambulance came, threw him in the ambulance, and hopefully he made it at the hospital,” one neighbor said.
“It’s heartbreaking, you know. Yeah, I got kids myself, and I can only imagine what the family’s going through,” another neighbor said.
Police say this all appears to be an accident.
The boy remains in critical condition.
