A 47-year-old man suffered a broken hand and arm, and a dislocated shoulder when he fell from a ladder after suffering an electric shock at a house on Holt Road, Cromer today.

An air ambulance was called to the scene and landed in the Co-Op supermarket car park. The casualty was 'conscious and breathing but not completely alert' when emergency crews arrived after the accident at about 12.50pm said an ambulance spokesman. He was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for treatment.
