The condition of a six-year-old boy allegedly thrown from a 10th-floor viewing platform at Tate Modern in London has improved slightly but he remains critically ill, the Metropolitan police have said.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the incident on Sunday afternoon and remains in custody.
The child, who was found on a fifth-floor roof, is in a London hospital. His family were being supported by police, the Met said.
Officers continue to work hard to establish the circumstances of yesterdays incident, it said. The suspect had remained with members of the public at the Tate after the incident. There was nothing to suggest he was known to the victim, the police statement said. The mental health of the teenager is one line of inquiry.
Officers were called to the gallery at about 2.40pm on Sunday. The child was treated at the scene before being flown to hospital by the air ambulance.
=======================================================
A journalist, Olga Malchevska, was on the viewing platform when the boy fell and described what happened as absolutely terrifying. She told BBC Breakfast: I saw that woman who was running and shouting My son, oh my son and she was crying desperately.
=======================================================
Nancy Barnfield, an administration worker from Rochdale, was on the viewing gallery with a friend and their children when her friend heard a loud bang.
Barnfield said she turned around and saw a woman screaming, Wheres my son, wheres my son?
Members of the public quickly gathered around a man who was nearby, she said. We did not notice the mum before, we noticed her after because she was hysterical by then.

Now, a child has been (allegedly) thrown off a building at this gallery in London.
Hope the two sets of parents can connect somehow to support each other.
Wasn’t there a kid tossed off a train platform too?
Oh, my, you’re right. I hadn’t heard that story before.

I blame white nationalism
No details about the perp. To be fair, he is a minor...
Germany, pushed by an African migrant.

Yeah. Nazi’s everywhere....
Skeeter: "I have noticed there is no more coverage on the man who recently through a six year old Boy off a Building in the UK. In other words the Media doesnt want to offend their beloved Muslims and they cant blame Guns for this."
Soon after that nut bag killed people in the gay bar in Florida, some dems/leftists were blaming the toxic, Christian environment surrounding the poor muslim killer.
Horrible - a father throwing his child off a roof.
(Thankful to hear that she was caught safely.)
With these last few cases, total strangers seem to be randomly throwing or pushing children.
Critically ILL?
“Child ‘thrown’ from Tate Modern in critical but stable condition (London)”
What or who the hell is a “Tate Modern”? /s
“Tate Modern is a modern art gallery located in London”
That CANNOT be a REAL picture!!!! GOD FORBID!
