A 2-year-old boy is in critical condition after falling nine stories from his apartment window in the Bronx on Friday, police said.
The little boy rushed out of a back room window at NYCHA’s Forest Houses on Trinity Avenue near E. 165th St. in Morrisania around 5:45 p.m.
The boy’s mother and his 11-year-old sister were in the apartment when he fell out of the window, which police say had an air conditioning unit.
The boy, who was conscious and alert when doctors arrived at the scene, was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, authorities said.
Last month, 3-year-old Daniel Galeas died after falling four stories when he forced his way through an air conditioning panel in Harlem.
About a week later, a 5-year-old boy survived a similar accident, where he wedged himself between a cooling unit and the window frame and fell five stories to the ground.
