A 1-year-old girl fell four stories from her Queens apartment last night - and miraculously survived when she bounced off two balls left in a backyard stairwell.
Cindy Riveros tumbled at 6:03 p.m. from the third-story bedroom window of 134-36 57th St. in Flushing.
There were no guards on the window, police said.
A neighbor told The Post the child fell one story below ground level, onto a landing in the back yard that leads to the basement - and where a couple of big, soft rubber balls had been left.
The balls appeared to have broken or cushioned little Cindy's fall, the neighbor said.
