4-year-old Hong Kong boy survives 7-story fall (Agencies) Updated: 2004-02-17 13:47
A 4-year-old Hong Kong boy plunged seven stories after leaning out of an
apartment window but survived when a canopy broke his fall, officials said
Tuesday.
The boy was found, conscious and crying, after he bounced off the canopy and
hit the ground on Monday, police spokeswoman Kelly Chan said. The boy had been
left home alone and his mother was arrested for suspected negligence, Chan said.
The boy was hospitalized in stable condition on Tuesday, government
spokeswoman Joyce Chan said. A newspaper, the South China Morning Post, reported
that he suffered head injuries, but officials had no immediate information on
his injuries.
