MOSCOW, April 2 (RIA Novosti) - A four-year-old boy has survived a fall from his family's fourth-story apartment in Moscow, a police spokesman said on Thursday.

"The boy, who was left alone in the apartment, opened the window and fell out. The neighbors saw the child lying on the ground, and called an ambulance," the spokesman told RIA Novosti.

Doctors were shocked to find that the boy had suffered no serious injuries. Further medical tests are being carried out.

Last month, a five-year-old Indian boy survived a fall from the roof of a three-story building, injuring his liver, pancreas, intestines and bile duct.
