Emergency - A person falls out of the window - A passerby catches him

A passerby in Darmstadt-North found a small boy who had fallen from the third floor of a housing complex. The one-year-old child was reportedly lightly injured during the fall last evening and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, according to the police. While the mother was there with the child, a fire broke out in their apartment - and it is now uninhabitable.

The small boy is believed to have climbed onto a window sill around 8:00 p.m., according to a police spokesperson. The rescuer must have observed this and stayed alert. "A ten-year-old would not have been able to catch a child of that height without injuries." The man who likely saved the child's life is being asked to come forward.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire may have been caused by burnt food. The seven-year-old brother of the one-year-old was reportedly still in the apartment when his mother and younger brother were at the hospital. A quick response from the fire department prevented further damage, as stated. The seven-year-old was also taken to the hospital as a precaution.

It is currently unknown how the child fell from the window. At that time, according to the findings, both the mother and the older brother of the child were in the apartment. The police are looking for witnesses - also to clarify the identity of the passerby who may have saved the child's life.
