Boy, 5, survives plummet from 5th-story window of NYC apartment complex: sources

A 5-year-old boy plummeted from the fifth-story window of a Brooklyn housing complex and miraculously survived the scary fall on Wednesday, according to police and law enforcement sources.

The youngster suffered head trauma and a broken arm, but was conscious and alert when first responders reached the NYCHA building along Avenue V in Sheepshead Bay around noon, police said.

He was taken to Maimonides Hospital and is in stable condition, according to cops.

The boy fell from a window in his apartment, where neighbors told ABC 7 he lives with his mother and two older brothers.

The older boys, 12 and 13, raced to tell their mother about the plunge.

A building resident told ABC 7 a nurse visiting her stumbled on the scene.

“When she went to look at him he seemed to be talking,” the woman recalled the visiting nurse telling her.

“He seemed to not understand what was going on but was talking, he was alive and he was verbal so that’s a good sign.”

Another building resident said the boy was talking to his mom and seems to be OK.

“When I found out about it my heart hurt because my mom always watches them sometimes when the mom goes to work,” the young man told the station. 

Cops said the probe is ongoing.
