2 men fall from a scale at Palazzo Nuovo in Turin
One is intubated after the dawn accident outside the occupied university site.
Two 36-year-old men were seriously injured early this morning after falling from a height equivalent to the second floor outside Palazzo Nuovo in Turin, a university site occupied in recent days.
The incident happened around 4.30 in Corso San Maurizio. Initial accounts say the two were trying to reach a wall to make a graffiti, using a ladder and, possibly, ropes.
One man was taken to the Cto hospital with a fractured femur and additional broken ribs. He is undergoing surgery, and doctors gave a prognosis of 60 days.
The other injured man was taken to San Giovanni Bosco hospital. He was intubated and is due to be transferred to the operating theatre for orthopedic and neurosurgery interventions.
Both men were classified in code red. The emergency response involved Croce Rossa of Turin crews with two ambulances from the 118 service, and firefighters from the Corso Regina Margherita detachment.
Carabinieri from the San Carlo company were alerted via 118 and have launched an investigation into what happened, to determine the circumstances of the fall, according to ANSA.
