A 22-year-old Polish man was critically injured today when he jumped off the Azure Window in Dwejra, Gozo.

The incident happened shortly before noon.

The police said the man cried for help immediately after his jump. He was assisted to shore and taken to hospital, where his condition was found to be life-threatening.   

The incident was the second of its nature this year. In May a 30-year-old Irishman suffered serious injuries after jumping from the same spot. 

Youtube includes several videos of people jumping off the site. Below are two of them, unrelated to today's incident.
