Baby falls seven floors – and survives

The expression "bouncing baby" has been given miraculous new meaning by an 18-month-old boy who fell from a seventh floor window in Paris and survived without a scratch.

The child, left alone in his family flat with his three-year-old sister on Monday evening, climbed out of a window. He then fell 60 feet onto the awning of a café and bounced straight into the arms of a doctor who had rushed across the street to try to help.

The toddler's parents, who have not been named, were still in police custody last night.

The child's escape was even more miraculous than it first appeared. The café, in the 20th arrondissement in north-eastern Paris, was closed for the All Saints bank holiday. The awning which broke the fall should have been folded but had jammed the day before.

Doctor Philippe Bensignor, who caught the child in his arms on the first bounce, had been having a drink in a café across the road.

Only the prompt intervention of neighbours on the seventh floor prevented the little boy's sister from falling after him. Samia Benmoussa said that they could hear the little girl crying. She talked to her through the locked door until her brother managed to force the lock and save her from the balcony.

The parents were later arrested for questioning for suspected child neglect and were still in custody last night.
