A NINE-year-old boy was left with serious injuries after falling from the second-floor of a flat on Helen Joseph Road in Bulwer, Durban on Tuesday.

“The ambulance and emergency services were efficient in getting to the scene within minutes from the initial call for assistance.

“While details are still unclear surrounding the events leading up to the incident, my request is to please keep the little boy and family in prayer as he is seeking the necessary medical attention.
