Baby thrown to safety

[juggler]

A GERMAN police officer has emerged as the hero who saved baby Onur, the child photographed being thrown four stories from a burning building in Germany yesterday.

The officer caught nine-month-old Onur in his arms when she was thrown from the building by her desperate family.

Officials say the police officer was injured and needed hospital treatment after falling to the ground when he caught the child.
The photograph of Onur being thrown from the building shocked the world. Onur has been reunited with her father and is unhurt.

Nine people, including five children, were killed in the blaze at the building in Ludwigshafen in southwestern Germany.

The Associated Press quoted a local police chief as saying the incident was "so terrible that some of the forces deployed wanted to give up their jobs".

Turkish immigrants lived in the building and there is now an investigation underway into the cause of the fire.[quote/]
