KUANTAN: 

A three-year-old boy sustained injuries on his face after he was believed to have fallen out the window of a car at Km5 of Jalan Lipis-Merapoh this morning.

Lipis police chief Ismail Man said the boy was in the back seat of a car driven by his father, travelling from Kampung Tempoyang to their home in Kampung Berembang.

“An initial investigation found that the child fell out of the vehicle through the open left rear window, when the 36-year-old driver stopped the vehicle to answer a phone call.

“The father was unaware of the incident and continued on his journey until Km7, when he realised that his son was not in the vehicle. He searched for his son but failed to find him and filed a police report in Kuala Lipis,” he said in a statement.

The boy was found with facial injuries by a passerby and was taken to the Padang Tengku police station before being treated at Kuala Lipis Hospital.

The case is being investigated under Section 337 of the Penal Code for causing hurt by an act which endangers the life or personal safety of others. - FMT
