2-year-old badly hurt in Fort Wayne window fall

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Authorities in Fort Wayne say a 2-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition after falling through a second-story window onto a concrete path about 15 feet below

Police say the boy was unconscious with head injuries when emergency workers arrived Sunday afternoon at the home on the city’s south side.

Police spokesman Officer John Chambers tells The Journal Gazette (http://bit.ly/ouYRyE ) that the boy fell through a window that was close to the floor and investigators don’t know whether he leaned on the screen, causing it to give way.

Police say the boy’s mother was on the second floor cleaning when he fell and that other adults were also inside at the time.
