Apartments block in Maryland, USA.
A two -year -old boy survived the fall on the 15th floor of a high apartment block in the American state of Maryland, the American press reported, according to Agerpres.
The incident took place on Thursday afternoon on the private balcony of the apartment, which has a protective glass, not a railing, the police spokesman in Montgomery County, Shiera Goff, announced. Adults were at that time, Goff told ABC News.
His fall from the balcony of the apartment was depreciated by the soil bushes. In addition, the fact that the boy is very small probably helped, the authorities said.
The child suffered “traumatic” injuries and was taken with a parent to a local hospital, according to the Fire and Salvation Service in Montgomery County.
“The age, dimensions and weight even helped, because if it were harder, it may not have survived … I think it was a combination of those bushes, those shrubs, and its size and weight,” said Goff spokesman.
