Child injured in window fall in Vienna-Meidling: Wooden table prevented fatal outcome

As if by a miracle, the four-year-old was not in life-threatening condition. He only suffered abrasions and bruises. As it turned out, his fall was cushioned by a wooden table located on a ground-level terrace.

The mother is said to have left the child with two siblings aged nine and twelve at home to take another daughter to a doctor's appointment. The 45-year-old Afghan woman was reported on suspicion of breaching her supervisory duties. Further investigations are ongoing.
