A young boy has fallen from a height at a block of flats in Kingston this afternoon.

London’s air ambulance was called after a boy fell at Dale Court.

He is understood to be about four or five years old. 

A witness who said she had seen the fall tweeted: "A little kid just fell off the balcony near ours and I had to try and console his mum whilst the ambulance came."

She said he had fallen from a third floor balcony.

Asked how the boy was she said: "Not sure at this point, from what I can gather he was taken by air ambulance, was in and out of consciousness."

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the boy was conscious and breathing.

An ambulance crew, cycle responder, a car and a duty officer were all sent out, alongside the helicopter.
