Man fell from third floor of building while trying to spit on police officers

A French man trying to impress his friends by spitting on police from his balcony ended up falling to the ground three storeys below. The 27-year-old was left seriously injured when he fell from the third storey balcony at his home in eastern France this week.

He had invited his friends round to his house in the town of Colmar to celebrate France’s national day on July 14th. The man was standing on his balcony at around 2am when he spotted a police car coming down the street.



He leaned back preparing to unleash a volley of phlegm onto the officers below, but as he lurched forward he went over the balcony railings and fell, luckily landing in some bushes.

He was rushed to hospital suffering from a head injury and multiple fractures. In another twist, when police questioned the shocked friends up on the balcony, officers realised that one of them had been on the run for several months. He was arrested and hauled off to prison.
