A man has suffered a very serious head injury after falling about 3 metres onto concrete whilst working on fitting out a building.
It happened at a property on Tyburn Road in Birmingham at around 2.50pm on Wednesday afternoon.
An ambulance was on scene within seven minutes and was backed up by a second ambulance, a paramedic area support officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford with a Trauma doctor on board.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, ambulance staff found a man who had serious head and chest injuries.
