Toddler caught during four-story fall

By at 10:59 am Friday, Jan 5

Three-year-old Timothy Addo fell four stories off a fire escape yesterday but fortunately was caught by two passers-by. Julio Gonzales and Pedro Nevarez were walking by the building when they noticed Timothy hanging from the fire escape. He had crawled out onto it when his babysitter wasn't paying attention. From the Associtaed Press:
The boy tumbled and hit Nevarez in the chest so hard he knocked him off balance, but he bounced into Gonzalez' arms.

Timothy was treated at the hospital for a cut on his forehead.

"He's fine. He's happy. He's smiling," said his mother, 26-year-old Katrina Cosme, who was working at the time of the accident
