16 Year Old Boy Survives 5 Story Fall.

A 16-year-old boy miraculously survived — suffering little more than a broken leg — a five-story fall from the roof of his grandmother’s Inwood apartment building last night, sources said.

The boy, identified by neighbors only as Nathaniel, landed like a cat after tumbling from the top of the six-story building at 541 W. 204th St. at 7:15 p.m.

He wound up on roof of a neighboring single-story building.

“It sounded like a bomb,” said Jiselle Nunez, 25, who was working inside the store at the time. “He [the boy] was screaming.”

Nunez said a police officer and another man rescued the youth by pulling him in through a window near where he landed.

In addition to a broken leg, the boy also suffered neck and back injuries and was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition.

It was not clear why the boy was on the roof, or if he was with anyone else.

Neighbors said he lives on the first floor with his grandmother and older brother, both of whom were home at the time of the incident.

People in the building described him as always willing to help a person in need around the building.

“He’s a very sweet boy,” said Elizabeth Gomez, 32. “A good, loving kid.”
