A man wandering a downtown street late Wednesday night stumbled and fell, sustaining life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Madison Police Department public information officer Joel DeSpain said police responded to the 400 block of West Mifflin Street just before 11:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a man down on the ground. When police arrived, they found the injured 49-year-old man in a semi-conscious state.
It appears this guy fell down some steps and was highly intoxicated at the time he fell,"" DeSpain said.
DeSpain said the man suffered head injuries in the fall and was taken to a local hospital where medical personnel determined his injuries to be life threatening. DeSpain said the man remains hospitalized. Police said the incident remains under investigation.
