Two young men who fell two floors between buildings in St Julian's were rescued by Civil Protection personnel late on Sunday night.
The delicate rescue operation involved CPD personnel from Ħal Far, USAR, Kordin and Floriana fire station, with one officer and eight firefighters labouring for two hours to rescue the two.
Both young men had fallen down a narrow shaft between buildings in New Street off Patrick Bryton street, the CPD said in a Facebook post. They were both taken to Mater Dei Hospital for treatment.
The CPD thanked the police force and Mater Dei accident and emergency staff for their help.
