On September 23rd, 2022 at approximately 4:49p.m. the Houma Police Department responded to the Liberty Street Bridge in reference to a child being thrown into Bayou Terrebonne from the Liberty Street Bridge.  

 

The child whom was found to be 18 months old was then transported to a local medical facility where he was treated and is expected to recover from his injuries.
