A boy who was thrown from the 10th floor of the Tate Modern in London four years ago now uses his wheelchair only for longer outings, his family has revealed.

The French boy suffered life-changing injuries in the attack by teenager Jonty Bravery in August 2019. The child, who was then aged six and on holiday with his parents, survived the 30-metre fall, but suffered major injuries, including bleeding on the brain and broken bones. Bravery was convicted of attempted murder in 2020 and jailed for 15 years.
