A Serbian man is fighting for his life after falling from a height of four storeys when a metal cable tied to a plank he was working on snapped.
The man was with another Serbian man working on a property in Triq Tumas Galea, Birkirkara, when the accident happened yesterday at about noon. Both men were sitting on the plank tied to two thick metal cables and fastened to the roof of the building. One of the cables snapped, releasing the plank, which fell to the ground below.
One man fell but the other luckily held on and slowly slid down. The man who fell was taken to hospital by ambulance but his colleague refused medical treatment
