An incident where a 1-year old boy fell from the balcony outside of a 5th floor occurred in Dongguan, China at approximately 3pm on March 8.
According to Ifang News, Mrs. Xu, one resident said: “I was just relaxing on the first floor when I heard a child’s cry.” Mrs. Xu recalled, “I raised my head and saw a boy sitting on the 5th floor balcony, with one leg stretched out over the edge.”
Mrs. Xu immediately rushed to her bedroom and grabbed the quilt off her bed to catch the toddler in case he should fall. Nine other neighbors also fetched quilts from their homes and unfolded them outside. Police were trying to force the door of the balcony open, the toddler fell from the balcony right into the quilts.
The boy was rushed to the hospital after the incident but suffered no injuries.
