Trapped by fire and panick, a mother threw her baby from the 10th floor of Grenfell Tower, Kensington, United Kingdom, after a great fire swept the apartment on Wednesday (14/6).
Although being dropped from a high place, the baby miraculously survived without any injuries.
Eyewitnesses saw a man immediately running toward the baby and catching him. However, the fate of the mother is still unknown.
"I saw a window open and a woman signaled that she would throw her baby and wanted someone to catch it," said eyewitness Samira Lamrani, cited in Independent.
"Someone did it. There was a man running toward the burning apartment and caught that baby," added Lamrani.
Medics immediately rushed to the scene and checked the condition of the baby and said the baby was fine, although it dropped from a high place.
On the other hand, Zara, other witnesses, said he saw a woman was forced to throw his son aged about five years from the sixth floor, that survived from the fire.
"The mother had to throw her son out of the window from the sixth floor. The boy might suffer bruises or broken bones, but he survived," Zara told LBC Radio.
At least 12 people were killed and 74 others were injured and had to be rushed to the hospital following the great fire in an apartment that as high as 27 floors.
London firefighters sent 200 officers and 40 cars to extinguish the fire. Until now, the cause of one of the worst fires ever occuring in London for a generation, remains unknown.
