Police Report on Child Who Fell From Window

At 12:23 p.m. City of Bradford Police and firefighters/paramedics were dispatched to 86 Main Street for a report of a 2-year-old that had fallen from a third-story open window and was injured.

Chief Chris Lucco and Lt. Steve Caskey went from the station to the scene on foot because it is near Subway. They found the child’s father, Andrew Lorenzi, who rushed both officers and paramedic J.D. Tehle upstairs to his apartment and showed them where the child had fallen, and was now trapped in between two buildings.

The area were the child, Carlyn Lorenzi, had fallen was 12 to 15 feet down and was only a 2-foot by 2-foot triangle. Carlyn was crying and had visible bleeding wounds, but could not be accessed from where they were.

Lucco and Caskey rushed down to the 2nd floor apartment, where they believed there was a window that could access the area where the child was trapped. They forced open a window, which would only go up 10 to 12 inches. But they were able to reach out and grab the child, and pull her inside. Tehle then rushed her to an ambulance, rendering medical attention. She was taken to the Bradford Regional Medical Center Emergency Room, where she was stabilized, and then later taken to Children’s Hospital in Buffalo for treatment of possible broken bones.

McKean County Children and Youth Services was called to assist with the investigation, which is still open.
