Fall from third story - A man reports to the police after rescuing a one-year-old
After an unknown passerby picked up a small boy who had fallen from the third floor of a house on a Friday evening, a man went to the police station to report it. The police are now checking if it is indeed the boy's rescuer, as a police spokesperson in Darmstadt announced.
A passerby had found the child and taken him to a hospital after the fall, where he was reportedly slightly injured and taken in as a precaution. The boy had climbed out of a window, according to initial police investigations. The rescuer must have observed this and remained alert, a spokesperson said.
While the child's mother, who is 29 years old, was at the hospital with the child, a fire broke out in her apartment - and it is now uninhabitable. Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire may have been caused by burnt food. The seven-year-old brother of the boy was reportedly still in the apartment when his mother and brother were at the clinic. A quick response from the fire department prevented worse damage, it was reported. The seven-year-old was also taken to the hospital as a precaution.
- The mother expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the unknown passerby, acknowledging their good luck in being at the right place at the right time.
- The incident stirred up discussions in local schools and communities in Hesse, Germany, emphasizing the importance of emergency procedures and preventive measures.
- The police in Germany are considering rewarding the anonymous rescuer for their decisive actions, given the severe consequences that could have occurred without their intervention.
- The child's family was reassured by the fire department, who ensured them that necessary measures were in place to prevent similar accidents in the future.
- Following the events, the mother decided to learn first aid and CPR to better protect her children and empower other mothers in her community.
