A young child survived a fall from the second floor of an apartment building. The incident occurred at the Gardens Apartments, located at 13180 Port Said Rd. in Opa Locka at around 2 p.m., Saturday. The 5-year-old boy was staying with his godmother when he slipped through the railings on the second floor of the apartment building and fell over 10 feet to the ground.
Following the fall, the boy was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he is receiving treatment. According to residents of the apartment complex, the part of the railing the boy fell through has been broken for some time. On Saturday, police wrapped tape around the broken rail, in order to prevent another fall. Later, a board was placed on top of the broken section of the railing. However, residents want the rail to be permanently fixed.
