Brit, 27, is 'seriously injured' after plunging from balcony in Majorca

A British man has been left 'seriously injured' after plunging from a first floor balcony in Majorca. 

The 27-year-old was rushed to hospital late last night with local reports stating neighbours saw him leaning out of the window of a Palma flat twice before he fell to the ground head-first.

It was not made immediately clear this morning if the man was holidaying at the flat in the Majorcan capital or whether he lived at the address.

Local reports said the injured man told police before he was rushed to the island's Son Espases Hospital that he had consumed cocaine and ketamine before the four-metre tumble.

He miraculously survived the fall after being stabilised at the scene by emergency medical responders. 

Horror footage following the incident showed the Brit being assisted on a stretcher before he was wheeled into an ambulance and taken to hospital.

National Police in Ibiza are conducting an ongoing investigation into the fall, which is being treated at this stage as an accident.

It comes after a British tourist, 25, was left fighting for his life after falling from a third floor Magaluf apartment block in April.

The unnamed man was rushed to hospital with 'very serious' injuries to his face and head as he was left in 'critical condition' following the fall.

According to Spanish media at the time, the incident occurred in the Majorca party resort at 6am on April 6.

He fell from a flat block known as the Maria Elena building in a street called Federico Garcia Lorca.

The Majorca Daily Bulletin reported that a neighbour at the apartment building called emergency services to report a man lying on the ground who was bleeding heavily.

But miraculously, despite the injuries, the man was conscious and was also taken to Son Espases Hospital in Palma.

Police were working on the theory he had fallen after losing his bearings and getting into the complex through a gap separating it from a pedestrian walkway. 

Three Brits previously lost their lives in quick succession after plunging from the notorious Eden Roc apartment block in Magaluf.

Natalie Cormack, 19, from West Kilbride in Scotland, fell to her death in April 2018 after getting locked out of her flat and attempting to climb onto her balcony.

She was doing her second season in the party resort working in a bar.

In June 2018 Welshman Tom Hughes, 20, died when he fell near the entrance after mistaking the building for his hotel.

The following month Thomas Channon, 18, from Rhoose near Barry, South Wales, plunged to his death from a narrow walkway after climbing a low wall with a 'sheer' 50ft drop the other side as he tried to get back to his nearby hotel during a holiday to celebrate finishing his A-levels.
