A man was injured late yesterday when the roof of a washroom collapsed while he was working on it.

The incident happened at about 8pm, in gathering darkness at Mater Boni Consiglii Street, Paola, as the man apparently worked with a jigger on the roof.

He ended up trapped in the debris when the roof collapsed and he fell one storey.

Rescuers of the Civil Protection Department freed him and he was hospitalised, where he was found to be suffering fractures.
