A baby boy was rushed to hospital Friday afternoon after falling from a home on East Vancouver.
Authorities believe the infant fell from a second-storey window in a home near East 11 Avenue and Clark Drive at about 2:45 p.m.
Police say they believe he is nine months old, and that the fall appears to have been an accident.
Officials say the child was taken by ambulance to BC Children's Hospital.
The boy's grandparents tell CTV News Vancouver that he was conscious and able to recognize them when he was taken to hospital.
They're optimistic that he will be OK.
He is currently being assessed at BC Children's Hospital.
The fall marks the seveneth case this year where a child has fallen out of a window or balcony. In 2018, there were 15.
BC Children's Hospital encourages caregivers to childproof windows and balconies.
Health officials warn that if a child has fallen more than five feet and experiences symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, abnormal behaviour or loss of consciousness to immediately seek help at an emergency room.
