(FOX 9) - The now six-year-old boy who was thrown from a balcony at the Mall of America is celebrating his recovery a year after the incident.
In April 2019, Landen was with his mother at the Mall of America when a man "looking for someone to kill" approached Landen and threw him over the balcony, according to court documents.
The nearly 40-foot fall left Landen seriously injured with a long road to recovery. Donations poured in with more than $1 million raised online.
According to family updates, Landen returned home in August and as of late November, Landen was walking "perfectly." In June, Emmanuel Aranda pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted murder and was sentenced to 19 years in prison.
