The family of the boy, now 13, shared the update on GoFundMe, saying he had finally left hospital and was able to return to school shortly before the summer holidays. They added that he has taken his first steps as a walker, though his left leg remains weak since undergoing surgery.
The French child was six years old when he was thrown from the 10th-storey viewing platform at the Tate Modern in August 2019. He sustained very serious injuries from the 100ft fall, including several broken bones and bleeding on the brain.
In January, his family provided an update that he remained in a rehabilitation centre as he was still unable to walk, which they described as a 'sad step backward' in his recovery.
Summer of recovery
His family said he is spending the summer taking adapted swimming lessons and celebrated his discharge with a tandem paragliding flight and a week-long seaside trip with friends from the Éclaireurs de France, complete with a pirate theme. He is also receiving maths tutoring classes to catch up on months of missed school.
In their update, the family wrote: "We wanted to let you know that our little knight has finally left the hospital! His hospital stay was kept as short as possible because, despite our daily presence and encouragement, our son was becoming deeply disheartened and kept asking when he could go back to class and see his friends."
Attack and sentencing
Jonty Bravery, then 17, threw the boy from the viewing platform. He was suffering from a mixed personality disorder and was in social services accommodation, but had been allowed to leave the home alone at the time. A court heard he intended to select and kill someone.
Bravery was sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempted murder in 2020. Earlier this year, he was jailed for 16 weeks for assaulting two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital, Berkshire, in 2024.
