A 10-month-old girl survived an eight-storey plunge after her drunk father apparently threw her out a window during an argument with his mother-in-law, the Shanghai Daily said yesterday.
The child suffered only a broken leg when her fall was slowed by branches of a tree and shelanded in a flower bed, the newspaper said.
She was in hospital but out of danger.
Her father, a 26-year security guard, said in an interview on a Shanghai television station that the fall was an accident.
