A witness to a mother and toddler’s deadly fall at Petco Park said the mother had a close call while jumping on a picnic table bench, with her 2-year-old son in her arms, near the ledge of an upper concourse. The witness said she was shocked to see the mother climb up on the bench with her son a second time.
“She lost her balance and fell off the bench. I remarked to my son, ‘Oh my gosh she almost fell,’” the witness, who did not want to be identified, wrote in a statement shared with NBC 7.
The mother, child and a man were sitting at a picnic table on the third concourse of the stadium at around 4 p.m. Saturday, just before the first pitch of the San Diego Padres game, according to the San Diego Police Department.
