Child, 3, impaled on fence after falling from window in Englewood

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A 3-year-old boy is critically injured after falling from a second-floor window around 9 p.m. Monday in the 7100-block of South Emerald in the Englewood neighborhood, officials said.

According to the boy's aunt, who asked not to be identified, he fell from his second story bedroom, landed on top of a sharp fence and was impaled at the torso.

The aunt and the boy's mother removed him from the spikes.

"He wasn't crying or nothing," says the boy's aunt. "He was talking to us and he was telling us, he kept on saying, 'I want to sit up, Ii want to sit up,' and we told him 'baby, you can't sit up right now.' I didn't want to tell him what was going on with him to make him cry or anything."

The boy's aunt says the boy was accidentally pushed out the window while horse playing with his cousins.

"They was playing and she pushed him," she said, "but then the other question is my sister, she keeps that window down in the room because there's no screen in there, so she be telling the kids, 'Don't touch this window.'"

The boy was taken to Comer Children's Hospital in critical condition, but doctors were able to stabilize him.
