DENVER (AP) - A baby girl dangling by one hand from a third-floor balcony was spared death when she fell into the arms of a neighbour who waited underneath, police said Sunday.
.
The nine-month-old's mother had left her with her 10-and 13-year-old brothers Saturday while she went to work, police said. The boys left the apartment, and the girl crawled through a door they had left open.
.
The girl was hanging over a concrete sidewalk 5,6 metres above the ground when neighbour Mary Bussey and her son, Brandon Bussey, noticed her, police said.
.
Mary Bussey waited under the child while her son ran upstairs, and the girl fell into her arms.
.
Officials said the baby was healthy and safe. She has been placed in the custody of the Denver Department of Social Services.
