The tot tumbled from a window at 593 Oak Terrace in Mott Haven at around 6:40 p.m. and landed face down in the back of the six-story apartment building, according to authorities.

The baby was alert and conscious when first responders arrived, according to the FDNY.

“It wasn’t moving, only crying. Its legs were crossed. No socks. No shoes. Only pampers,” recalled first-floor resident Wilma Roman

The baby was taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.

One person of interest is in custody following the incident, the NYPD said. 

The Post captured a photo of a man in handcuffs being hauled away from the scene.

Several other young children were also seen being escorted into a police cruiser.

Another resident of the building, Emmanual, said he was watching TV in his third-floor apartment when he “saw a shadow pass the window.”

Then he heard a “loud bang.”

“I thought it was garbage at first because people throw garbage out the window. But when I looked I noticed it was a baby, face down on the floor.”

Another witness described seeing a little boy on a stretcher, “Face down with a bandage covering his face.”

“This is heartbreaking for me,” said the witness, a mother of three.

She said other witnesses who were able to get into the backyard where the boy had fallen said there was “a lot of blood” and that the child “was not responsive to the care that was given to him.”

While first responders were tending to the tot, the woman said she saw an older man “pacing” near the scene – but he didn’t appear to be the baby’s father. 

“I did see an older man pacing back and forth almost as if he was the one that witnessed what happened, or heard something,” she told The Post.

The woman praised first responders for how they handled the situation. 

She said a young firefighter climbed into the building through a window and “opened the gate for authorities to be able to answer.”

“It was pretty calm. Everyone did really well, you know, under the circumstances, not knowing what — what was really going on,” she said.
