A 5-year-old boy who survived after being thrown from a third-story balcony at the Mall of America in Minnesota is walking again unaided, his family has announced.

Landen Hoffman suffered two broken arms, a broken leg, and fractures to his face and skull after Emmanuel Aranda, 24, threw him from the third floor of the mall in a random attack on April 12.
