A five-year-old boy who fell to his death from a Sheffield hotel window was an Afghan refugee, police have said.

Emergency services were called to the OYO Metropolitan Hotel in Blonk Street, Sheffield, at about 14:30 BST on Wednesday.

It is reported that the child fell from a ninth-floor room where he was staying with his mother.

A fellow Afghan staying in the hotel said the boy's family only arrived in the UK 15 days ago.

The man, who worked as an interpreter for the British Army in Afghanistan, said one of his children alerted him to the boy falling and he went outside to help.He was later asked to accompany the boy's mother to hospital to translate.

He said everybody in the hotel had been left shocked by the incident.
