Saturday, 19 Feb 2011 02:20pm
Police are being hailed as heroes after they prevented a 22-month-old boy from climbing over a balcony railing.
About 3.20pm yesterday (18 February), a woman ran into the front counter area saying that a baby appeared to be hanging from a third floor balcony of an Auburn unit block.
Four constables attached to Flemington Local Area Command ran from the station towards the Susan Street unit block.
Two officers remained at ground level while their colleagues ran to the third floor and forced their way into the unit. The child’s mother was unaware of the events unfolding around her.
Running onto the balcony, the police found the boy standing on a lounge chair with one leg on the balcony railing.
A male constable grabbed hold of the child and returned the boy to his mother.
It is anticipated the four officers will be commended for their actions.
