Apartment staircase removed, children stranded

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A work crew got an unexpected setback when trying to replace the staircase to an apartment.

After the stairs were torn off, they learned a woman had left her three children, ages 8 to 13, in the apartment.  The owners of the apartment complex had notified all tenants of the plans.

The fire department was called in and used a ladder to get the kids down safely.

LMPD contacted the father, who arrived and took the children.
