An 18-month-old boy recovered well after falling from the window of his three-story home in eastern Canada on Tuesday, reports reaching in Ottawa said on Friday.

Police in Quebec City in the French-speaking Quebec province said the boy was sitting on a windowsill and playing with his brother when he fell 10 meters onto a patch of grass below, the Canadian Press reported.

Spokesman Jean-Sebastien Roy said the boy appeared to have climbed up on a bed and was playing by the window when he fell.

The child was taken to hospital as a precaution and his condition was good.

Both parents were inside the apartment when the boy fell.
