A 2-year-old boy survived a fall from the 15th floor of a high-rise apartment building in Maryland when he landed in bushes and mulch on the ground, officials said.
The fall occurred Thursday afternoon from the apartment’s private balcony, which has protective glass, not a railing, according to Montgomery County police spokesperson Shiera Goff. Adults were home at the time, Goff told ABC News.
The child suffered “traumatic” injuries and went with a parent to a local hospital, according to the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service.
