Teen critical after falling four storeys from #Perth apartment block

A TEENAGER is fighting for his life after he fell from the fourth floor of a CBD apartment complex that he had tried to climb overnight.

Police believe the victim, believed to be a 16-year-old boy, and another person had arrived at an apartment building on Mounts Bay Road about 1.30am on Saturday to visit one of the residents.

But they got no answer and the concierge would not let them in.

A police spokesman said it then appeared the pair had decided to climb up the building to access the apartment, but they had climbed up the wrong side of the building.

He said while trying to scale down the building, the victim fell from the fourth floor to the courtyard below. The other climber made his way down and rushed to alert police at a nearby booze bus and an ambulance was called.

The teenager was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital with serious injuries.

A RPH spokesman said on Saturday morning the person was in a critical condition.
