Tunbridge Wells - A toddler who fell 30 ft from an open window and escaped uninjured was saved because he was a "bouncing baby", doctors said last night. Job Robinson, who celebrates his second birthday on Friday, fell from the second floor of his house in St John's Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, last night. Passer-by Dr Ken Castro tried to catch the youngster but only managed to break his fall. Nevertheless the baby suffered only minor bruising.
