A 44-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman who were arrested after a one-year-old girl fell from a first-floor window in Lincoln have now accepted a caution.

The man and the woman were initially arrested on suspicion of child neglect after the incident, which was reported to police at 3.21pm on July 11, 2022.

Police said the child was conscious and breathing and taken to hospital, before later being discharged with no serious concerns for her health, much to the relief of local residents.
