Naked woman falls through city centre roof

A naked couple who clambered to the top of a building triggered a full-scale rescue by the emergency services after the woman plunged through the roof. Eyewitnesses reported the pair “rolling about” in the nude on top of a four-storey building in Aberdeen city centre before she fell through the slates. Two fire engines, three ambulances and several police cars were called to the scene at around 11am, as crowds of shoppers looked on in amazement.

The busy road was closed for more than an hour as firefighters broke into the Bridge Street building, which houses a mixture of flats, shops and restaurants, and searched for the pair. The woman, believed to be in her 30s, was led out by paramedics with mud and cuts on her face and taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in an ambulance. A man, thought to be in his mid-20s, was led out by police officers 30 minutes later and driven off in the back of a police car. Both were dressed by the time they emerged.

Two shocked joiners, who were working in the building, raised the alarm after they saw the couple attempting to break into an adjoining premises. One of the workmen, who didn't want to be named, said: “We couldn't believe our eyes. We were both working to secure one of the empty premises when we see these two folk naked at the window. I don't know how they accessed that part of the building, but they were rolling about the roof naked. They had mud all over them.

“Then I saw the lassie falling through the roof. It's full of asbestos." The other joiner added: “They looked crazy. It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen.” A Grampian Police spokesman confirmed the woman “appeared to be okay”.
