NIZHNY NOVGOROD, August 7 (RIA Novosti) - A large cuddly toy has helped a 3-year-old girl survive a fall from a fifth-floor apartment in Russia's southwest Urals, a police spokesperson said Thursday.
"The girl, who was left on her own by the adults for just a minute, crawled onto a window sill and fell from the opened window after losing her balance," the spokesperson said.
The child, who lives in Ufa, the capital of Bashkortostan, landed right on top of the soft toy, which she had been holding tightly, the spokesperson said.
The girl was hospitalized with a stomach injury, but her condition was not considered dangerous.
