An infant fell three stories from the balcony of an Escondido apartment but received only minor scrapes and bruises, authorities said Monday.
The 18-month-old boy wandered away from his father and fell off the balcony about 8:30 a.m. Sunday in the 1500 block of East Grand Avenue, Escondido firefighter Ken Slaven said.
The infant, whose name was not released, landed on soft dirt and was found by a neighbor, Slaven said. Paramedics arrived to find him in good condition.
“He was very fortunate not to have been injured,” Slaven said.
The child was kept overnight at Children’s Hospital and was released Monday, authorities said.
