A baby has fallen eight stories after his own mother seemingly attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of an apartment window while holding her son.
The tragic incident took place in New York on Wednesday, and amazingly the baby survived the massive drop, according to police.
Mother, Cynthia Wachenheim was found on the street with her son, 10-month-old Keston. Emergency services were called and a police officer who responded to the incident rushed the baby to a local hospital for treatment. He was listed as being in a critical but stable condition.
Authorities believe the mother purposely jumped from the eighth floor apartment window as they later found a seven page suicide note under her bed.
The note reportedly states that the 45 year old mother knew that what she was about to do was "evil" but that she was worried about how her child was developing. Early reports have not confirmed whether the baby had any known mental or physical problems.
Authorities found the window to the mom's West Harlem apartment wide open, and confirmed that there were no signs of any struggle inside, so they are not suspecting any foul play.
