A 33-year-old woman has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly pushing a young child from a downtown Toronto balcony on Monday.

Toronto police said they received a call about a child being located on the ground near a condo building near Front Street West and Spadina Avenue.

“It is alleged that the child was pushed from a balcony,” Toronto police media relations officer Stephanie Miceli said in an email to CP24.

The child sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Miceli said.

Police arrested the woman and in addition to attempted murder, she’s facing charges of aggravated assault, administering noxious thing/intent to endanger life and parent/spouse not providing necessaries of life-endangering life.

They did not release the name of the woman and did not confirm how the woman is related to the child.
