The father of a 3-year-old boy who fell from a second-floor window of his Westchester County home Wednesday lifted the child from the ground and started carrying him to a nearby hospital on foot before an ambulance caught up with them, police said.
The boy fell from the window of his home on May Street in New Rochelle around 9:45 a.m. while his father was in a different room, authorities said. Police say there was no guard on the window, which is required in all multiple family dwellings with children younger than age 10.

Sentry Window Guards Commentary:
It is unfortunate that some property owners do not realize that a fall from a second story can be as critical as those from higher floors. We strongly recommend proper window guards for all second story window openings.
