( 4UMF NEWS ) 9-Year-Old Throws Baby Out Window:
A 3-month-old baby girl survived a fall from a second-story window in a Bronx housing project Tuesday night, officials said.
The child was alone in the apartment with her 9-year-old brother when she plunged from the window at the Edenwald Houses on 226th Drive, authorities said.
“The baby hit the AC unit and bounced onto the grass,” said eyewitness Brenda Jackson, 54, who called 911. “She was crying, I was so happy because she was still alive.”
The baby’s mother was outside the building, witnesses said. “She picked up the baby and cuddled her,” Jackson said. “She went running around the building and back into the apartment — she panicked.”
Police and workers from the Administration for Children’s Services were questioning family members.
One police source said they were investigating the possibility that the girl’s brother threw her out of the window. “He needs to talk to somebody,” the children’s grandmother, Gail Dubose, said of her grandson Myshon.
The girl was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in stable condition, the FDNY said.
