A 36-year-old man suffered
spinal fractures and other injuries after falling from a second
floor balcony in Barletta, southern Italy, during an attempt to
hide from his lover's husband.
The man was in his lover's house when he heard that her
husband had returned home, according to a reconstruction of the
incident. He hid on the balcony and so as not to be seen, he
hung from a railing, which was unable to hold his weight so he
fell.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and he is now
recovering in hospital.
