ALBANY, N.Y. —  A postal worker is credited with saving an infant's life by catching the one-year-old after she fell out of a second-storey window in Albany, N.Y.

Lisa Harrell was delivering mail to a home Monday morning when she noticed a baby in a window above the front door.

Harrell says the next thing she knew, the baby had fallen into her arms.

When the baby's mother realized what happened, she ran outside and grabbed the girl from Harrell. The woman thanked Harrell and then ran down the street to her mother's house.

Paramedics checked the baby at the scene but found no injuries.

No charges are being filed against the mother, who says she had placed her daughter on a bed that was up against the window. The mother says her back was turned when her daughter crawled out the open window.
