Jonty Bravery Named as Suspect in Tate Modern Balcony Push Case
Jonty Bravery, who is now 18 years old, has been named as the individual facing attempted murder charges following an incident in August where a six-year-old boy was reportedly pushed from the Tate Modern's viewing platform in London. The child fell from the tenth floor and landed on a roof below. The victim’s family recently shared on a fundraising page the severity of his injuries, revealing that he has lost the ability to speak, eat, or move, although he is starting to make attempts to move his tongue, right arm, and hand. They remain hopeful for his recovery, describing him as courageous and still smiling. Bravery is scheduled for a plea hearing next month, with reporting restrictions lifted in the UK after he reached adulthood.
