2-Year-Old Boy Falls From 11th Floor Window in Takoma Park: Police

A little boy fell out of a window on the 11th floor of an apartment building in Takoma Park, Maryland, police say.

The fall happened Monday at the Park Ritchie apartments at 7600 block of Maple Avenue.

The 2-year-old boy fell from a window in the back of the building into some bushes and a pile of mulch, missing the concrete, police said.

After waking up from an afternoon nap, the boy got on to a night stand next to an open window and pushed open the screen, police said. 

Medics took him to Children's Hospital and he was later moved to the hospital's intensive care unit, police said.

He is in critical condition.

Doctors are surprised the boy's injuries aren't worse, according to his family.
