An 11-year-old boy survived a fall from the balcony of a New Jersey apartment building on Wednesday after landing on an adjacent building, police said.

He landed on the roof of an adjacent restaurant at least five floors below, police said. The boy suffered a broken nose and broken pelvis in the fall and was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.

The boy’s identity was not immediately released.
