A 3-year-old Rockville girl was in critical condition Tuesday afternoon after a fall from a third-story window in her family’s apartment.
Police officials say the child is believed to have pushed a window screen out and fallen onto the concrete parking lot below around 7 p.m. Monday evening.
Montgomery County police spokesman Jimmy Robinson said “there does not appear to be any criminal culpability in this case but social services will investigate on the basis of possible neglect.”
Robinson said only the girl’s 20-year-old brother was home at the time of the incident on Lenmore Avenue, and he called 911 as soon as he heard her scream.
She was taken by helicopter to Children’s Hospital for treatment of a “serious head injury,” according to Robinson.
