Yikes...that is a scary looking stairway with the open handrail...you would think it would need to be enclosed at that height. Hope the child is okay.

I hope this little boy is

I hope this little boy is ok. Long way for a little guy to fall, for sure. That stairwell certainly looks dangerous to me. I would think the City of Hutchinson would force the owner to bring it up to code.

Paramedics tended to an unidentified 4-year-old boy who fell from a stairway in downtown Hutchinson Friday afternoon. The stairway leads from a second-story doorway overlooking an alley in the 100 block of Main Street Southeast. Hutchinson police said the boy and his mother were leaving the building after visiting a friend in an upstairs apartment when he ran ahead and fell from the stairway under the railing. The boy was conscious when paramedics took him to Hutchinson Community Hospital around 1:25 p.m.
