It's understood the boy's mother heard her son's horrific screams and ran outside.

She picked him up carried him to her car and drove him to Perth Children's Hospital for serious leg injuries.

The boy's old brother said he had fractured his leg but thankfully isn't seriously hurt.

Neighbours also heard the boy's screams, which they described as intensely loud and heartbreaking.

"I heard terrible thump noise and I've heard a child yelling and screaming in pain and very, very distressed," neighbour Kathy said.
