A young child fell from an apartment building this week in Toronto and is expected to fully recover from their injuries.

On Tuesday, May 3, at around 3 p.m., Toronto Police officers said in a tweet that they responded to a call in the area of Brimley Road and Ellesmere Road, which is near Scarborough Town Centre.

The child had serious injuries, and officers helped paramedics with an "emergency run." According to police, the child is expected to fully recover from their injuries as they aren't considered life-threatening.

Per CP24, paramedics said that the child was conscious when they arrived at the scene and was taken to a trauma centre "as a precaution."

Constable David Hopkinson told CityNews Toronto that it's unclear whether the child fell from a window or balcony due to differing reports.

"This could be just an unfortunate set of circumstances," Hopkinson said.

"If it is, we wouldn't comment any further. We would consider this a private family matter. We would only comment further if we believe there is something sinister or something criminal, and charges may be warranted."

UPDATE: Toronto Police Service media relations officer Constable Laura Brabant confirmed to Narcity via email that the child is 2 years old, but didn't disclose the child's gender.

"The cause of the injury was accidental and no foul play is suspected at this time," Brabant said.

The toddler has non-life-threatening injuries, and according to Brabant, is considered to be in stable condition.
