Three-year-old boy escapes with light injuries after falling off train

A three-year-old boy miraculously escaped with light injuries after falling off a moving express train on Saturday. The incident happened near Lysá nad Labem and the child was flown to Prague’s Motol Hospital by helicopter. Rescue workers who found him said he had a head wound that required stitches and some bumps and bruises but appeared otherwise uninjured. He was conscious, communicating and his blood pressure was normal. The police are looking into why the child had been allowed to wonder up and down the train unattended. The train was an old model where the doors do not automatically safe-lock once the train is in motion.
