A 30-year-old Briton, who lives in Malta, suffered serious injuries when he fell three storeys into the internal yard of a block of apartments in Qawra, the police said.

The police were informed about the accident, in Kurazza Street, at about 6 a.m. yesterday.

The man was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital where he was found to have sustained serious head injuries and was in imminent danger of losing his life, the police said.

This is the second serious accident in the area in a week. On July 10, a 15-year-old Russian girl fell five storeys to her death after apparently attempting to jump from her balcony to her friend's room at a hotel in St Paul's Bay.
