Someone witnessed a 23-year-old woman and her baby plummet from the balcony of an 18-story apartment building in the Bronx. The witness also claims that someone threw them over the edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Baby Was Only Five Months Old<\/p>\n

As the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>\u00a0reports, officers discovered the mother and child at 3:38 a.m. at 2550 Olinville Avenue on Tuesday, Oct. 6. The New York Police Department told the outlet that the injuries were consistent with a fall from an elevated position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two victims were rushed to Jacobi Hospital in critical condition. The woman was later pronounced dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The baby is believed to be a 5-month-old girl. Authorities have not confirmed that they were thrown from the balcony. Another witness said she heard someone yelling, “Please don’t do this!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the woman and the baby are mother and daughter. Officers have been seen entering the complex as the investigation continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Comes Weeks After Another Incident in the Bronx<\/p>\n

Back in August<\/a>, police stated that a 5-year-old boy fell out of a window from the fourth or fifth floor of a building in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

Police said the boy had “injuries indicative of falling from an elevated position.” A video shows the child on the sidewalk, not moving. His arms are also outstretched, and his head is lying on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One passerby shouted at the top of his voice, “Where is the f*****g parents, man?”<\/p>\n

The building’s superintendent pointed out that the window the boy fell out of had a guard. It is meant to act as a safety device to prevent young children from falling out. However, the boy appeared to climb over it and slip through.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boy was then rushed to the hospital. At the time of the report, he was recovering and in stable condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Someone witnessed a 23-year-old woman and her baby plummet from the balcony of an 18-story apartment building in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":366027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-366026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=366026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
