4-year-old boy dead after fall from NYC apartment window
A 4-year-old boy died Monday after falling four stories from an apartment window in Brooklyn, police said.
The child fell from the fourth floor of the building at 3301 Farragut Road in East Flatbush just before 3 p.m., cops said.
First responders rushed him to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County, where he died, according to police.
What caused the boy to take the tragic tumble wasn’t immediately clear.
Police sources said the fatal fall appeared to be an accident, and that no criminality was suspected.
One neighbor described a chaotic, bloody scene as people rushed to aid the boy and maintenance workers tried to figure out how he fell.
“You see like 10 different people trying to revive him,” said Nashawna Harley, who witnessed the aftermath. “Cops picked him up and ran him over to the ambulance.”
“When I saw the baby lifeless and the police running with her I was like this is serious,” another witness told The Post.
Harley questioned how such a tragedy could unfold.
“Where are the parents?” the woman emotionally questioned. “Who was watching him? How is this possible? Did the building have bars”
“Somebody has to pay for this because this doesn’t make sense,” Harley said while tearing up.
