A TODDLER who survived a five-storey plunge from a tower block has been discharged from hospital.
The two-year-old boy fractured his arm and broke a rib after falling from the top floor of Tuscany House in Sherwood Close, Walthamstow, last Wednesday afternoon (May 23).
Despite horrified neighbours initially fearing the worst, the boy has now been released from hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
The Met's Child Abuse Investigation Team is examining the circumstances surrounding what happened but there have been no arrests.
