The Tate Modern gallery in London

Four years after being left in intensive care when he was thrown from the 10th floor of the Tate Modern, a young French boy is defying the odds – now swimming, running and jumping as he continues his remarkable recovery.

The child, then six years old, fell around 30 metres and suffered life-threatening injuries after being attacked by teenager Jonty Bravery at the world-famous London gallery.

Affectionately known to his family as “notre petit chevalier” (“our little knight”), the boy had been visiting London with his parents when he was assaulted.
