Police are investigating after a 2-year-old boy survived a 15-story fall from an apartment balcony in a suburb of Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

The Montgomery County Police Department said officers responded along with Fire and Rescue personnel to a report of a 2-year-old boy falling from a balcony at an apartment building on the 11200 block of Oak Leaf Drive in White Oak, Md., shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday.

The boy fell from a 15th-floor apartment but landed in bushes, which miraculously broke his fall. Police said the boy was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“According to the medical staff, the childs injuries include a broken leg and multiple internal injuries, but he is expected to survive,” police said.

Police said Friday that no charges have yet been filed, but detectives with the department’s Special Victims Investigations Division are investigating how the boy fell from the balcony.

Police are asking anyone with information about the case to come forward or submit an anonymous tip.
