Toddler falls from window

A witness at a London apartment building stated they saw a toddler hanging from a window just before he fell to his death.

Shocked neighbours told how the 23-month-old boy, who died after sustaining massive head injuries, was being cared for by his grandfather. The child’s mother was later spotted rushing around hysterically after residents found him in a pool of blood, it was claimed.

Locals said they raised the alarm and wrapped the boy in blankets after he fell in Tottenham, north London, on Friday.

Yasmine Begum, 36, who lives on the ground floor of the apartment block, told how she saw the baby fall after her children spotted him “hanging”.

She said: “The kids were playing on the patio outside and they came running in saying ‘Mum there’s a baby hanging out the window, it’s going to fall’. I went outside, the window was wide open and I saw the baby fall, I actually saw him falling, I did not have the courage to look up at the window to see if there was anyone there I just focused on the baby. Then someone said to bring blankets and I was talking to the ambulance man and he was telling us what to do.”
