A man is fighting for his life after an attempt to climb into his St Paul’s Bay flat saw him tumble three storeys.

TVM reported that the man was locked outside of his apartment on Triq San Ġorġ in St Paul’s Bay when he decided to enter the common area and make his way up the roof.

The 43-year old man tried to jump from one balcony to another but ended up falling almost the entire height of the block.

Ambulance services rushed to the scene and took the man to Mater Dei hospital. His injuries are serious but his current condition is as yet unknown.

Police investigations and a magisterial inquiry are underway.
