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. <\/p>\n

The baby was alert and conscious when first responders arrived, according to the FDNY.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t moving, only crying. Its legs were crossed. No socks. No shoes. Only pampers,\u201d recalled first-floor resident Wilma Roman<\/p>\n

The baby was taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.<\/p>\n

One person of interest is in custody following the incident, the NYPD said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Post captured a photo of a man in handcuffs being hauled away from the scene.<\/p>\n

Several other young children were also seen being escorted into a police cruiser. <\/p>\n

Another resident of the building, Emmanual, said he was watching TV in his third-floor apartment when he \u201csaw a shadow pass the window.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he heard a \u201cloud bang.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another witness described seeing a little boy on a stretcher, \u201cFace down with a bandage covering his face.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is heartbreaking for me,\u201d said the witness, a mother of three.<\/p>\n

She said other witnesses who were able to get into the backyard where the boy had fallen said there was \u201ca lot of blood\u201d and that the child \u201cwas not responsive to the care that was given to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

While first responders were tending to the tot, the woman said she saw an older man \u201cpacing\u201d near the scene \u2013 but he didn\u2019t appear to be the baby\u2019s father.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI did see an older man pacing back and forth almost as if he was the one that witnessed what happened, or heard something,\u201d she told The Post.<\/p>\n

The woman praised first responders for how they handled the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said a young firefighter climbed into the building through a window and \u201copened the gate for authorities to be able to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty calm. Everyone did really well, you know, under the circumstances, not knowing what \u2014 what was really going on,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
