Solanum dulcamara
The fruit is a bay red ovoid with the aspect and odour of a tiny tomato. The berry is poisonous to humans and livestock but edible for birds that disperse their seeds. The berry's attractiveness and familiar look make it dangerous for children.

Unless you know what it is, don't eat it. I'm glad to hear you did.
Interesting you say that it is dangerous for young children...I had a little girl come up to me today with a red berry that looked very similar. I made sure I took it from her right away!
