The father of a 3-year-old boy who fell from a second-floor window of his Westchester County home Wednesday lifted the child from the ground and started carrying him to a nearby hospital on foot before an ambulance caught up with them, police said.
The boy fell from the window of his home on May Street in New Rochelle around 9:45 a.m. while his father was in a different room, authorities said. Police say there was no guard on the window, which is required in all multiple family dwellings with children younger than age 10.
It wasn't clear if the father had a car, but the hospital wasn't far away, so he headed there on foot. An ambulance came by and picked them up on the way.
The child is expected to survive. No charges have been filed at this time.
