A man has been rushed to hospital after falling from the balcony of a flat in Swindon.
Emergency services were called to Pasteur Drive, in Okus, at around 10.30pm on Friday (11 July).
Two ambulance crews, an ambulance officer and around ten police officers attended the scene at Wood Sorrel House – after a man fell from a third-floor flat.
Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance landed on Angel Ridge, as the charity’s critical care medics rushed to provide life-saving medical treatment.
The man, who locals claim was screaming in pain for around half an hour – was stabilised before being taking into the back of an ambulance.
He was taken to the Major Trauma Centre at Southmead Hospital in Bristol for urgent care.
It’s not clear how the man casualty came to fall from the balcony, however it’s not believed to be a police matter – with officers leaving the area a short time later.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “We responded to reports that a man had fallen from a third floor flat on Pasteur Drive, Swindon, just after 10.30pm last night (July 11).
“He was taken to hospital for treatment, and we are not looking for any other person in connection with the incident.”
