STAMFORD, CT — A mother and her child fell onto the tracks at the Stamford Train Station on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The Stamford Advocate reported that the woman, 34, fell on her head and was seriously injured. Her 9-month-old baby was strapped into a stroller, and suffered minor cuts to his face and forehead. Both were taken to Stamford Hospital.
