Toddler Falls 15 Feet From Apartment Balcony In Menifee

MENIFEE, CA —A toddler who fell 15 feet from a Menifee condominium balcony late Monday suffered only minor injuries, officials report.

At 9 p.m. Monday Cal Fire/Riverside County Firefighters and Menifee Police arrived at the 27500 block of Park Plaza, where a two-year-old boy fell from a balcony into bushes below, Patrol Lt. Heriberto Gutierrez told Patch.

"It was an accidental fall, where the boy leaned out over the balcony rail and fell," Gutierrez said. "He was quite lucky and was up and walking afterward."

As a precaution, medics flew the boy by helicopter to Riverside University Health System Medical Center in Moreno Valley.

Police found no one to be at fault, and the toddler would fully recover from any bumps and bruises in the fall, according to officials.
