Luckily, his fall was broken when he landed on a thick hedge.

Residents of the block in Callao de Fuenlabrada have called it a "miracle" after the tot appeared to have little sign of injury, according to a report on Antena 3 television channel.

But the baby, who has not been named in the press, was transferred by ambulance to the local hospital where he is being treated in intensive care.

A spokesman for the Octubre 12 Hospital told The Local: “The child of one year old is in a serious but stable condition, but we can’t say more on the request of the family.”
