Police: Little girl survives 5-story fall from window

Posted

Police say a 3-year-old girl survived with just minor injuries after falling up to five stories from the window of a Connecticut apartment building.

Stamford police tell The Advocate the girl fell into freshly spread mulch early Tuesday afternoon. She was moving and crying when found.

She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Sgt. Brian Butler says the girl was being watched by her sight-impaired grandmother and an aunt when she opened a window and fell next to the parking lot.

Butler said even though the apartment was on the second floor, the fall to the parking-lot level was four to five stories.

The state Department of Children and Families was notified.
