Toddler, two, fighting for life after falling 40ft from top floor window of flats

A two-year-old girl is fighting for her life after falling from the top floor of a block of flats.

The toddler is believed to have plunged around 40 feet from a building in Barrhead, near Glasgow.

Police Scotland are investigating the circumstances around the fall.

A spokesperson said: “Police received report of a two-year-old girl who was injured after falling from the window of a flat on Craighead Way in Barrhead around 8.25pm on Thursday, September 2.

“Emergency services attended and she was taken to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, where her condition is described as stable.

No details have been released of the girl's injuries and her parents are thought to be keeping a bedside vigil at the hospital.

A neighbour said: "We have been told that a young girl fell out of a top-floor window but little else.

"The emergency services were on the scene quickly and the police have been back a few times since.

"I don't think many people realised what was going on at the time."

The flats are understood to have been refurbished in the past 15 years.

Councillor Danny Devlin said: "Nobody really knows exactly what has happened here.

"The flat belongs to the council and the family have a tenancy.

"This has been a shocking incident and our thoughts are with the girl and her family.

"Everyone is hoping and praying that she makes full recovery."
