French child, six at time of 2019 attack, suffers setback in recovery after January operation
The family of a boy thrown from the 10th-storey balcony of the Tate Modern seven years ago said it feels as though his recovery has taken a “sad step backwards” after surgery.
The unnamed French child was six when he was seriously hurt in an attack by Jonty Bravery at the London attraction in August 2019.
The child, who was on holiday with his parents, survived a 100ft fall but sustained life-changing injuries, including a bleed on the brain and multiple broken bones.
His family, who call him “notre petit chevalier” – our little knight – said in an update posted on a GoFundMe page on Tuesday that the youngster’s rehabilitation is “proving longer and more difficult than expected” after surgery in January.
