A baby has escaped with just minor injuries after a man who was holding the 18-month old jumped from a second storey balcony in Sydney’s inner west on Wednesday.
The child suffered minor injuries to her head and was taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a stable condition, NSW Police said.
Police were called to the Conder St apartment complex at Burwood just after 8.30am after they received a “concern for welfare” report.
NSW Police said the man jumped from the balcony holding the toddler.
The man suffered leg injuries in the fall and was taken to Westmead Hospital.
Police are investigating the incident. Crime scene photographers and investigators scoured the unit complex on Wednesday afternoon to piece together what occurred.
