A baby has been taken to Connecticut Children's Medical Center after falling out a first-floor window at building 35 of Woodcliff Estates, a big apartment complex off Simmons Road in East Hartford.
It happened just before 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The baby was still alive and breating, police said.
Medics transported the baby for medical care and officials said the child is breathing, conscious and responsive.
When it comes to the safety of children, people say you can't be too careful.
"Because it's important to not be caught up in too many videos and movies. Make sure your children's OK before you," Benjamin Lott, of East Hartford, said.
A Manchester mother said she can understand how a child could fall out a window.
"I think accidents do happen but we all need to be vigilant to try to really take care of our kids and watch every move they make because things do happen really quickly," Tracey Lineburg, of Manchester, said.

A Manchester father, David Callejas said "kids are always looking around for any stuff, in particular being curious and to leave the window open is just not safe at all."
A dowel or a piece of wood cut to keep windows from sliding open to far is one possible safety device.
