A girl aged two fell from the eighth floor of an apartment building situated in Centru district of Chisinau on Tuesday evening. She was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Mother and Child Institute.

The General Police Inspectorate said the window of the apartment was open and the girl, climbing onto the standstill and leaning against the insect screen, fell out. An investigation is under way to establish all the circumstances of this case.

Contacted by IPN for details, spokesman for the Mother and Child Institute Maxim Cazacu said the patient suffered a number of traumas and was admitted to the intensive care unit in a serious state.

The police warn the parents to restrict the children’s access to windows and to block these with special devices, using the vertical window opening system and not to place chairs, tables and other objects on the balcony or next to  windows as the children can mount them and fall from height.
