A man who fell from a block of flats in Norwich is continuing to fight for his life in hospital.

Witnesses had seen the man, believed to be in his 30s, fall from a balcony on the fifth floor of Ashbourne Tower, Watling Road, at around 6.20pm on Sunday.

He was initially taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital having sustained multiple serious injuries but has since been transferred to Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge.

A spokesman for Norfolk police said his condition is critical but stable.

The spokesman added there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident.

As previously reported one person living in Ashbourne Tower, who did not want to be named, first became of aware of what had happened at about 6.15pm.

She said: 'I heard this commotion from outside my window.

'I looked outside and saw some legs. I thought a fight had started.

'There was a man on the phone really agitated, and he told us someone had just fallen from a balcony.'

The man had narrowly missed landing on a concrete pathway, instead falling to a grass embankment.

The 21-year-old said: 'It's scary when it happens right outside your window.

'I just hope he makes a good recovery, because it really doesn't look good.'

Arron Warren had run down from the block of flats to help the man, holding him still until paramedics arrived.

The 30-year-old said: 'I just kept talking to him until the ambulance got there.

I kept him warm and kept talking to him to make sure he was still with me.

'I had to keep telling him to breathe, and tried to keep him calm. It was just horrific.'

Kooner Bic, manager of the local Premier store, described the man, a regular customer, as 'quiet'. He said: 'I think he had some problems and wanted a fresh start. He was a nice guy. Everyone thinks it's terrible.'
