An 18-month-old baby tumbled out of an apartment building in Paris Nov. 1, only to be saved by the open arms of a father who was passing by on the street below. The little girl, who fell seven stories, bounced off a cafe awning and was caught by the unnamed man, the New York Post reports.
The rescuer, who also happened to be a doctor, was alerted to the situation by his own young son. The boy got a glimpse of the child, who was allegedly playing with her sisters, just before she fell out of the window. French authorities are praising the man's quick reflexes and credit him with saving the baby's life.
The little baby who also was not named, was taken to the hospital. Miraculously, she suffered nary a scratch during her frightening fall. According to the Post, the children were unsupervised at the time of the incident and the police are questioning the child's parents as to why the kids were left in the apartment alone.
