Toddler in 'critical, stable condition' after yesterday's fall

A one-year old girl who fell a height of two storeys from a balcony yesterday is in critical, but stable condition, hospital sources said this afternoon. The incident happened at a housing estate in Pembroke. The toddler hit a cobbled area in front of a block of flats in Pietru D’Armenia Street. She initially stood up, crying, after the fall. She was not bleeding but had a big bruise on her head. Nobody was sure how the accident happened, although some neighbours said the toddler may have climbed on to a wicker chair on the balcony and toppled over.
