The boy who was thrown off the balcony of the Tate Modern art gallery in London<\/a> has made a \u2018sad backwards step\u2019 in his recovery.<\/p>\n The boy, from France<\/a>, was six-years-old when he was thrown from the 10th floor by Jonty Bravery in August 2019. <\/p>\n He survived the fall but suffered a bleed on the brain and multiple broken bones. <\/p>\n His family, who refer to him as \u2018notre petit chevalier\u2019 or \u2018our little knight\u2019 posted in his GoFundMe last night that his rehabilitation has undergone a \u2018sad step backward\u2019 following an operation in January.<\/p>\n They wrote: \u2018He is still hospitalised in a rehabilitation centre because he is still unable to walk.<\/p>\n \u2018He has only been able to have weekend leave for the past three weeks, in a wheelchair, which frustrates him greatly: it feels like a sad step backwards.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018He is eager to be able to walk again and resume a normal life outside the rehabilitation centre, even if this normal life means spending half his time in treatment and only the other half at school<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018Our little knight, as courageous as ever, continues to fight and train, and we will remain by his side to support him no matter what.\u2019<\/p>\n In October the family said the boy had achieved his \u2018long set\u2019 goal of being able to run, jump and swim again.<\/p>\n The family had also found a school which was \u2018perfectly suited to his needs\u2019. <\/p>\n They said: \u2018In a very short time, he made new friends who have stayed in touch despite his extended absence.<\/p>\n \u2018They encourage him and eagerly await his return. It\u2019s a warm welcome he hasn\u2019t received at school in a long time.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tLatest London news\t\t\t<\/p>\n To get the latest news from the capital, visit Metro’s London news hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jonty Bravery was handed a life sentence for throwing the boy 100 ft from the 10th floor of the gallery. <\/p>\n The judge said it is \u2018very unlikely\u2019 Bravery will be deemed safe for release at the end of his 15-year minimum term, \u2018unless something significant changes\u2019.<\/p>\n Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more stories like this, check our news page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PRI_106429898-f475-e1776240526942.jpg\")
