Man stable after building fall

A Dunedin man sustained serious injuries after falling from the roof of a Princes St building yesterday.

Sergeant Chris George, of Dunedin, said the 42-year-old fell about 16m from the roof of the Queens Building in Princes St on to an enclosed roof area on the first floor of the building, about 7.45am.

The man sustained back, pelvis and lower leg injuries and was taken to Dunedin Hospital in a serious condition.

Sgt George said the man had surgery yesterday, and was now in a stable condition in the intensive-care unit.

The incident was not being treated as suspicious, he said.
