The U.S. Coast Guard came to the aid of an infant injured in a fall on a cruise ship.

The cruise ship Celebrity Infinity was 80 miles west of Juneau when the call came in.

The Coast Guard says a helicopter launched from Air Station Sitka hoisted the infant and a parent from the ship and took them to Bartlett Regional Hospital on Tuesday. The child's condition was described as stable.
