Samuel Medley fell from the first floor flat in Hickman Road at about 8pm yesterday. He was in intensive care in Birmingham Children’s Hospital today with skull fractures and a suspected collapsed lung.

Samuel’s mother Kelly Harris, aged 21, said: “In a split second he was there and then the next I heard the screams from people outside saying he was on the floor.”
