TAGBILARAN CITY –– A 24-year-old man, who escaped from a private hospital in this city, was injured after he fell from a three-story building on Thursday evening.
SFO1 Ronnel Lofranco of the Tagbilaran City Fire Station said the victim got out of a hospital window and walked at least 150 meters to the CPG Avenue before staying in a three-story building.
The victim’s brother accompanied the responders to convince the victim to come down from the building.
However, the victim was shocked when he saw his brother and jumped off from the building, but got entangled in a wire of an electric post.
He hanged for some minutes but eventually fell about 50 feet to the ground.
Lofranco said the man was conscious and was immediately brought to the hospital.
He said the victim was confined at a private hospital following complaints of cough and insomnia for three days.
