BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - A 5-year-old boy who was thrown from a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America near Minneapolis remains hospitalized with serious injuries, authorities said Saturday. Bloomington police Chief Jeffrey Potts said during a news conference that the boy fell nearly 40 feet after a man who apparently didn’t know the boy or his family threw him off the balcony Friday. A witness, Brian Johnson, told WCCO-TV on Friday that he heard a woman scream that her child had been thrown from the balcony. At one point, Aranda had a trespass notice banning him from the mall, but it was no longer in effect, Potts said. The 4.2-million-square-foot Mall of America is in Bloomington, about 10 miles south of Minneapolis.
