A man is in a serious condition in hospital after falling from a second floor tenement window in Edinburgh.

The incident took place in Hillside Crescent, just off London Road, on Tuesday morning.

Police cordoned off an area around the property after they were called out at about 7.10am.

A police spokesman said: "The Scottish Ambulance Service attended the scene and transferred the man to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he remains in a serious condition.

"Inquiries are ongoing, however, there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances at this time."

The incident happened three days after a woman died after falling from a window on Morningside Road.
