Minnesota child survives long fall

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 6 (UPI) -- A 2-year-old boy "bounced right up" after plummeting from a third-story apartment window in Minnesota while playing with his twin brother.

The boy apparently landed on a grassy area below the window Tuesday afternoon, St. Paul, Minn., police said. He was scared, crying and holding on to a fence but appeared to have only a minor head injury, the Star Tribune reported.

"He bounced right up," police spokesman Tom Walsh told the Minneapolis newspaper. "He was walking around. Talking."

The child was taken to a hospital for observation.

The boys' father was in the apartment at the time of the accident, which was under investigation.
