ALBANY, N.Y., April 22 (UPI) -- An Albany, N.Y., postal carrier says a baby fell right into her arms from an open window while she was delivering a package.
Lisa Harrell said she normally does not deliver to the neighborhood until about 2 p.m., but she was in the area before noon Monday to deliver an Express Mail package, the Albany (N.Y.) Times-Union reported Tuesday.
She said that no sooner had she pushed a doorbell at an apartment building than she felt something hit her shoulder and instinctively shot her arms out to catch it. She said she was shocked to find a baby that had apparently fallen from a second-story window.
"I noticed the upstairs window open halfway," she said. "The baby fell right into my arms. Everything happened so quick."
Paramedics from the Albany Fire Department said the child appeared to be unharmed.
Harrell said Brenda Morales, the child's mother, ran outside and thanked her before taking the baby and running up the street to her mother's home.
"I said, 'You should never had had that window open. Your baby could be dead,'" Harrell said. "Thank God the baby was OK."
