Overview
- The boy was thrown from the Tate Modern’s 10th‑floor viewing platform on 4 August 2019 and survived a roughly 100ft fall that left him with a brain haemorrhage and multiple broken bones.
- The attacker, Jonty Bravery, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and received a life sentence with a 15‑year minimum and has since been convicted of assaults on staff at Broadmoor high‑security hospital.
- After a major brain operation in January 2026 the child remained in hospital until July, when his family announced his discharge and that he briefly returned to school.
- He continues intensive rehabilitation, including physiotherapy, speech therapy and neuropsychology, uses a walker because his left leg remains weak, and his family are arranging adaptive sports, tutoring and further therapy.
- A GoFundMe run by nurse Vicky Diplacto has raised more than £500,000 to pay for treatment and activities, and coverage of the case has renewed scrutiny of supervision for people in supported accommodation at the time of the 2019 attack.
