BURBANK, CA -- A couple moving out of their apartment in Burbank saved a child that had climbed out of a third-story window.

The incident happened Sunday in the 400 block of N. Pass Avenue. Police say the couple's quick thinking likely saved the child's life.

"The child climbed out of the window and was actually hanging out on to what appeared to be a telephone line or a cable line. They placed the mattress underneath the child, and at that point the child released and fell to the ground," said Burbank Police Lt. John Dilibert.

Konrad Lightner and his wife, Jennifer, noticed the toddler and his sister throwing their toys out the window as they went in to get another load, including the box spring. On the way out, they saw the toddler throw his leg over the window sill.
