2-year-old hospitalized after falling out Mpls. window
A two-year-old boy is recovering Tuesday after falling out of a second-story window in Minneapolis.
Police say the incident happened around 5 p.m. in the 2700 block of Bloomington Avenue South. The boy fell from a porch area on the second floor of the home, which is under construction.
"I told them a couple weeks ago to cover up that window, to do something because the kids can jump from there. So they put up a piece of plywood to cover up so he can't go up," said neighbor Cesar Prado.
The boy broke a few bones from the 16-foot fall and was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, police say. They wouldn’t describe his condition, but say he is expected to recover.
Neighbors tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the homeowners and their two children purchased the home several months ago and are renovating the four-plex.
Authorities say this is a good reminder to protect your children by taking precautions—like putting child safety locks on windows—around the house.
