Child flown to trauma center after falling from Miami-Dade apartment building, officials say

An investigation is underway in Miami-Dade after officials said a young girl somehow fell from a third-floor apartment early Thursday morning.

North Miami Beach police said they were called to investigate a report of an injured juvenile in the 2100 block of Northeast 169th Street, and when they arrived, they found her conscious and alert and was taken to a hospital.

Neighbors recorded video of the aftermath and shows her laying on the ground below the apartment.

Police said a parent was on scene and no foul play is suspected.

One man said he saw the girl fall from the apartment window and ran to help but couldn't catch her in time.

"Only three people were outside," he said. "Me and two girls."

CBS News Miami reporter Bri Buckley attempted to speak with the family, but no one answered the door.

Building property manager Nelson Vega said the girl lives in a third-floor apartment with her parents and siblings.

"The window is not easy to open, it's not easy to open," Vega said.

Vega told CBS News Miami that police had been called to the unit previously. "The children see a problem, maybe nervous, before the police have come here for the same problem," he said.

Neighbors said they are hoping for the girl's recovery.

"I'm not feeling happy right now," Vega added.

There's no word on the girl's condition and no other information was released.
