3-year-old falls from window in Hungary, suffers serious head injury

A three-year-old child suffered a serious head injury after falling from a first-floor window in the western Hungarian city of Sopron, according to the Magyar Gyermekmentő Alapítvány (Hungarian Children’s Rescue Foundation).

Child airlifted to hospital

The foundation reported on Facebook that its unit based in Győr recently assisted in treating a young boy who had fallen from an apartment window. The three-year-old suffered a severe skull injury as a result of the accident.

According to information obtained by RTL Híradó, the child was transported to hospital by air ambulance. Despite the severity of the injuries, the boy is currently in stable condition.

The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, but the rescue foundation only disclosed the case several days later to draw attention to the dangers and help prevent similar accidents.

Rescue foundation warns parents

In its statement, the Magyar Gyermekmentő Alapítvány emphasised that it has previously reported several similar incidents and therefore considers it important to remind parents of the risks.
