A 5-year-old boy survived a frightening five-story fall from a window inside a Brooklyn housing building Wednesday, police said.

The little boy was conscious and alert when officers responded around 12 p.m. at the Sheepshead Bay houses near Ave V. and Batchelder St. in Sheepshead Bay, cops said.

“He opened the window, trying to get his toys,” the boy’s mother told ABC7 . “His toys fell out of the window. So he opened the window, trying to get his toys. I see him lying down. H\e was not responding. That’s all I can remember.”

The child was taken by EMS to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.

The boy fell from a fifth-floor window and was in surgery after scans showed bleeding in the brain, according to ABC7.
