Investigators say a 6-year-old Olympia boy who claimed he was assaulted by bullies was actually injured in a fall.

Olympia police are saying the boy somehow took a fall at his apartment complex, but it isn’t clear what led to the fall.

The boy’s story was that he was attacked by kids when he told them to stop bullying his friend. He has a broken arm and cuts and bruises.

Police previously said they had identified a child who they believe started it, but after further interviews the injured boy told them he made up the story.

Investigators say no charges will be filed due to the boy’s age, but social services has been notified to ensure the child’s welfare.
