(about 1 hour later) | |
A community has been left shocked by the death of a two-year-old girl who is believed to have fallen from a window in Bradford. | |
A woman, thought to be 36, was found alongside the girl and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. | |
Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. | |
Officers were called by paramedics after reports that a woman and child had been found unconscious at the back of an address on Tuesday morning. | |
Sher Khan, Labour councillor for Little Horton, told the Telegraph & Argus newspaper that neighbours said the girl had fallen from the upstairs window of a terraced house and the woman had fallen afterwards. | |
"The family had just recently moved into the area," he said. "It's unbelievable. Apparently, the woman had recently moved from somewhere else – another city – to this area. My understanding is that nobody knew her that well. It happened at about 9.15am. Everyone is so shocked." | |
Detective Chief Inspector Jon Morgan said: "Police were called by paramedics to Delamere Street, Bradford, at 9.15am today, following reports that a woman and child had been found unconscious outside the back of an address. | Detective Chief Inspector Jon Morgan said: "Police were called by paramedics to Delamere Street, Bradford, at 9.15am today, following reports that a woman and child had been found unconscious outside the back of an address. |
