2-Year-Old Girl Falls Out of Window of West Philadelphia Home

Police say the 2-year-old girl fell out of a second floor window that did not have a screen at a home on the 800 block of North Markoe Street at 7:38 p.m.

A toddler is recovering after she fell out of a window in West Philadelphia Saturday night.

Police say the 2-year-old girl was playing by herself in a room inside her home on the 800 block of Markoe Street while her mother was in another room at 7:38 p.m. The child then fell through a second floor window that did not have a screen and landed on the concrete below. The girl's mother heard screams and rushed to the room before she saw her daughter outside on the ground.

Police are investigating the incident but don't believe there was any foul play. The girl was taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where she is currently in stable condition.

"Our detectives from Special Victims will be looking into this but right now it doesn't appear to have any signs of foul play," Philadelphia Police Captain George Fuchs said. "But that's for our detectives to look into."
