Residents were helping the boy when emergency responders and officers arrived. Together, they were able to move the boy, who appeared to have a leg injury but was otherwise OK. He was taken to an area hospital for evaluation.
Residents in the area were surprised to see what had happened because there are window guards in most apartment windows. It appears the little boy moved a piece of wood wedged between an air conditioner and a window, then moved the plastic piece and created the gap that he fell through. It was the only window in the apartment without a guard.
The boy's mother was home at the time and horrified to discover what happened to her son. She rushed to his side, thankful her son was alive. Both the NYPD and the Administration for Children's Services are investigating the incident.
