News 12 has learned that a toddler who fell from the third-floor window of their apartment Monday afternoon is expected to survive.
Sources say people saw the toddler opening and closing the window, just moments before he fell headfirst from the third story.
Neighbors say the child fell from a bed that was up against the window of his parents’ apartment on South Street in the city of Newburgh.
Sources tell News 12 the toddler is a little boy who is about 2 or 3 years old.
They say the child was found unconscious and bleeding Monday afternoon and rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
Sources say the child was then flown to Westchester Medical Center.
Neighbors told News 12 they are praying for the toddler and his family.
“Best wishes. I hope the baby gets better. It’s really sad," said a woman who did not wish to be identified.
News 12 reached out to police but has not heard back.
Sources say despite the seriousness of the fall the child is expected to survive.
