Two women have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect after a toddler suffered serious injuries in a fall from the window of an eighth-floor flat.
The two-year-old boy was airlifted to a London hospital after miraculously surviving the fall from a block of flats in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.
He is said to be in a critical but stable condition.
Surrey Police confirmed that two women, aged 24 and 30, had been arrested on suspicious of child abuse in relation to the incident.
A neighbour alerted emergency services after she heard the boy's cries from her balcony and looked down to see the tot lying on the ground.
The Daily Mail reports that the neighbour said that the boy had gone blue as she frantically phoned for an ambulance and police to attend the scene.
Paramedics treated the boy at the scene before he was flown by air ambulance to a hospital in London.
A Surrey Police spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of a child who had fallen from the window of a block of flats on Spelthorne Grove in Sunbury at around 3.50pm on Tuesday.
“Officers attended along with colleagues from the South East Coast Ambulance Service and a two-year-old boy was airlifted to hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
“Both women have been interviewed and released on police bail while inquiries continue.”
