A 2-year-old boy fell off a 15th-floor balcony at an apartment building in Silver Spring, Maryland, on Thursday and miraculously survived.

Around 2 p.m., Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service personnel responded to an apartment building in the 11200 block of Oak Leaf Drive for reports of a child falling.

The boy had fallen into the bushes below and was transported to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
