Angry Mom Throws 6-months old Infant Down From 6th-Floor

A BABY girl has died after being thrown from a sixth-story window moments after witnesses heard her mother screaming "we're all going to die".

Mother Tenisha Fearon, 27 (above), reportedly dangled the infant from her flat moments before she plunged to her death in what police described as a "psychotic episode".

The six-month-old was found unconscious and unresponsive on the concrete pavement below the block of flats in the Bronx, New York, but later died in hospital.

Fearon, a single mother of four children, was taken into custody and is undergoing psychiatric assessment.

Detective Brian Sessa, spokesman for the New York Police Department, said she had not been charged.

He added: "The baby was sent out the window not by her own regard."

Officers were called around 2pm local time

The grandmother of Fearon reportedly heard her saying "the devil is in her" as police escorted her away from the scene, the New York Daily News reported.

Lizette Rodriguez, 48, who lives three floors below Fearon, witnessed the horrifying ordeal and recalled hearing a "thump" as she called the police.

She said: "She was saying, 'Hallelujah, praise God, we're all going to die'. She was arguing with herself.

"I heard the thump when I was on the phone with 911. And I gasped, 'Oh my God'."

Officers responded to a 911 call at around 2pm local time.
