Landen Hoffmann has woken up and is no longer in critical condition

The family of a five-year-old boy who was thrown off a third-story balcony at the Mall of America two weeks ago has confirmed he is 'alert and conscious'.

Landen Hoffmann's family said in a statement he had woken up and is no longer in critical condition.

'All praise, glory and honor to God! He saved our son’s life and is healing him in the most miraculous ways,' the statement reads. 'We are so elated to let you know that our son is now alert and conscious and is no longer in critical condition.

'We are now turning our focus to additional surgeries, healing, rehabilitation and eventually a return home, which we hope will happen by June.

'We want to personally thank each and every one of you for your love, prayers and support. We are astounded and so blessed by the over 28,000 individuals and families, from literally around the world, that have donated to our gofundme page.

'Your love and generosity overwhelms and means so much to us. We have no idea where we would be without you - God and your prayers have sustained us.'

A fundraising page has now hit $1 million to cover little Landen's medical costs.

It comes less than a week after Mac Hammond, the pastor at the boy's church in Woodbury, Minnesota, updated the congregation on the child's condition during an Easter service.

He said the boy recently underwent a five hour MRI test to assess the damage from the traumatic fall on April 12.

'There was zero evidence of brain damage - there wasn't even swelling,' Hammond revealed in a video obtained by Fox9. 'No spinal chord injury, no nerve damage, no internal injuries that were life-threatening.'

He said that doctors who repaired damage to the boy's face, namely his nose and cheek bones, 'were amazed at how everything just kind of fell back into place'.

Hammond also claimed that one of Landen's doctors had compared the boy's injuries to 'falling off a bicycle' and declared: 'This is truly a miracle.'

The family's attorney did not confirm nor deny Hammond's remarks but did clarify that the comment comparing the boy's injuries to a bike accident referred only to his facial injuries, not his health overall.

Previous reports claimed that Landen suffered two broken arms, a broken leg and a skull fracture as well as some small internal bleeding in the fall.

The family agreed to release the video of Hammond's sermon on Sunday, during which he described visiting Landen in the hospital last week.

The pastor said the boy's mother had experienced a 'premonition' when she entered the mall in Bloomington to meet another mom and her son, Landen's friend, on the day of the attack.

'The holy ghost gave her a warning. In her words, a dread came over her,' Hammond said.

He said the mom didn't want to turn around and leave because they had made plans to meet another mother and one of Landen's friends, so instead she prayed.

Minutes later she watched in horror as her son fell 40ft and landed on the stone floor.

Hammond said that as she rushed down the stairs to his side, she told the horrified witnesses: 'Just pray. Don't say anything. Just pray.'

Emmanuel Aranda, 24, was arrested and charged with attempted premeditated first-degree murder for the attack, according to Bloomington police.

He is being held in Hennepin County Jail in lieu of $2million bail and is scheduled to appear in court on May 14.

Aranda allegedly told police that he went to the mall looking for someone to kill as revenge for being rejected by women there for several years.

A criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County on Monday says Landen and his mother were standing outside a restaurant when Aranda came close to them, picked up the child and tossed him over the balcony.

The complaint says Aranda told police he had been coming to the mall for several years seeking to talk to women, but had been rejected and it caused him to lash out.

Several witnesses claimed to have watched as a man walked up to Landen and his mother outside of a the Rainforest Cafe at the sprawling Mall of America and launched the child over the railing as his mother cried out.

The mother screamed hysterically while a bystander chased Aranda down before the suspect shoved him against a wall.

Aranda kept running until police were able to capture him on the light-rail train outside the mall.

When he was being arrested, the suspect reportedly remained calm and did not question why police had stopped him.

Aranda allegedly told police that he knew what he was planning to do was wrong.

He said he came up with the idea to kill someone one day earlier and was planning to target an adult because 'they usually stand near the balcony', the criminal complaint said.

The suspect's uncle, Francis Aranda, told KSTP that his nephew had displayed violent tendencies since childhood.

'He has a serious mental problem, he was diagnosed as a child,' the relative said.

He added: 'We are going to pray for that baby [Landen] because what happened is so unfortunate, but it's going to bring light to mental illness, I hope he [Aranda] doesn't go to jail, he needs help.'

Bloomington Police confirmed Aranda had been banned from the mall twice before, but the most recent ban had since expired.

Aranda's criminal record includes two convictions in 2015 for obstruction of the legal process/interfering with a peace officer, as well as convictions for fifth-degree assault, trespassing and damage to property.

Court records show Aranda was arrested on July 4, 2015, after police said he matched the description of a man throwing things off the upper level of the Mall of America to the lower level.

Police say Aranda refused to give his name and resisted arrest during that incident.

He was also accused of walking into a store and sweeping his hand across a display table, breaking glasses.

In October 2015, Aranda was accused of throwing glasses in Twin Cities Grill in the mall.

The complaint says Aranda approached a woman who was waiting for the restaurant to open and asked her to buy him something.

The woman refused, and Aranda allegedly threw a glass of water in her face and a glass of tea that struck her leg.

Aranda was under a trespass notice at the time banning him from the mall until July 4, 2016.

Police said there is also a warrant for Aranda's arrest in Illinois for assault stemming from an incident at a Chicago restaurant when he allegedly threatened to slit a employee's neck.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Aranda has been employed as a janitor for Personnel Plus for the past two years.

It also says he is pursuing a psychology degree at Minneapolis Community and Technical College and expects to graduate in 2022.
