A 78-year-old Englishman yesterday suffered serious injuries when he fell out of a window as he tried to jump into a room next door from the outside of his apartment block in St Paul’s Bay.

He had tied himself with a rope, possibly as a precaution, and was trying to get into the room adjacent to the one he was in, the police said.

The incident happened in St George’s Road at about 2pm. It is not clear what floor his apartment is on.
