A baby who fell from the window of a fourth-storey flat has been discharged from hospital.

The young boy, who is thought to be around 12-months old, fell from the property in Station Road, Rainham, on Monday, May 25.

He was taken to a London hospital by the air ambulance with serious injuries but has since been allowed to leave.

It happened at flats above a parade of shops in Station Road at the junction with Childscroft Road.

One man, who asked to remain anonymous, was chatting to a friend when he heard the youngster hit the floor.

He said: "I heard a loud thud behind me and turned round to see this baby laying motionless on the floor.

"It was a shock to see and we began shouting up at the flats, trying to get the parents' attention. The father popped his head out the window and went into a sheer panic and ran downstairs."

No arrests were made by police, who were called to the incident.

It is the second time a child has fallen from a window in the same block of flats. A baby fell from a lower floor in 2014.
