Young man in serious condition after fall at shopping centre

A young man is in serious condition after falling from a side walkway at a shopping centre in České Budějovice shortly before 7 am on Monday. A police spokeswoman confirmed the man had suffered head trauma; he reportedly is not an employee at the site. The shopping centre has three floors, including a bus station on the ‘roof’. Police are investigating the cause of the accident.

Recently, a 22-year-old was killed at a major Prague department store after climbing onto – and falling 10 metres from – the hand-rail of an escalator.
