Toddler Survives Fall From Fourth Floor Apartment

A toddler has been rescued after falling from the fourth floor of an apartment in Turkey.

A three-year-old boy has miraculously survived the fall after a passerby caught him before he could hit the ground.

The shocking moment was recorded on CCTV camera, showing a small crowd of people gathering under the balcony to catch the distressed boy.

Kaan Kurtcuoglu wandered on to the balcony of his unit in Turkey after returning from the market, while his mother sorted out the grocery bags. Kaan lost his grip from the balcony of the apartment and hit the sunshade of a ground floor business before falling into the hands of a passerby.

Local media reports said that the boy fell and was hanging on to the edge of the balcony while his mother screamed for help.

Hearing the calls for help, people immediately gathered below the apartment and a passerby, Omer Yildiz rushed to help. “I saw the baby dangling from the balcony. He let go of the balcony despite our warnings and I caught the baby,” he told local media outlet Anadolu Agency.

Kaan was rushed to hospital and sustained injuries to his face. He was discharged after receiving treatment.
