A scaffolder is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after a fall from height in London’s West End.

Emergency services were called to Denmark Street, London on Friday (16 August) after reports of a man had fallen around 30ft – 50ft from scaffolding on a construction site.

The London Ambulance Service and Fire Brigade attended the scene near Tottenham Court Road tube station. London’s Air Ambulance was also dispatched.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson told ScaffMag: “We were called at 8:39am on 16 August to reports of a fall on Denmark Street, WC2H. We sent an ambulance crew, an incident response officer, a medic in a car and a medic on a motorbike to the scene. We also dispatched London’s Air Ambulance and our hazardous area response team (HART).”

“We treated a man at the scene and took him to a major trauma centre.”

The Part 2 scaffolder who we believe to be called Farai with a young family is said to sustained multiple broken bones however, the full extent of his injuries is still unknown.

Scaffolder, Farai is in a stable condition in Hospital.
