 READ MORE TO VIEW GALLERY & VIDEO A male has had a very lucky escape after falling approximately 4 floors in the suburb of Elizabeth Bay overnight. At around 12.30am, multiple emergency services responded to the incident, however access to the patient was very difficult. A number of ambulances, including intensive care paramedics descended down the interior stairwell of the exclusive waterfront property. They were supported by Police from Kings Cross local area command as well as the specialist Police Rescue Squad. The patient was stabilised and assessed between two neighbouring buildings. It’s believed he came in contact with barbed wire which broke his long fall. Extraction to street level was determined to be too difficult and a decision to utilise the Water Police’s boat “Valiant” was considered the safest option. The patient was safely unloaded at the Garden Island Naval Base and taken to a local hospital for treatment. It’s understood he is in a serious but stable condition.
