A British tourist, who is fighting for his life, plunged head first from a balcony ‘while drunk’ in Croatia.
The 30-year-old attempted to climb up a balcony in Hvar before he fell head first to the ground.
The Brit, who is suffering from life-threatening injuries, was airlifted 15 miles to the regional hospital in the Adriatic port of Split after the ER team revealed he needed intubation.
He is being treated for serious head injuries in the Intensive Care Unit, according to the Sun.
The accident happened while he and a group of Brits were on their way back to their rented apartment.

As they were on their way back he fell off a wall trying to climb up to a balcony.
This comes after a 40-year-old holidaymaker arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after his British wife plunged from their sixth-floor Benidorm hotel balcony.
Her condition when the 36-year-old was taken to hospital in Villajoyosa had been described as ‘critical’.
The same sources said the unnamed British man had been released after appearing before a judge in a closed court hearing in Benidorm.
Sources close to the investigation were not able to say whether the incident at the four-star Rio Park was now being treated as an accident or attempted suicide, or whether it could be crime-related.
The hotel where the incident happened is set in a quiet area of Benidorm just five minutes walk from the Costa Blanca resort’s famous Levante Beach.
The island of Hvar has captured the eye of many celebrities over the years as Gwyneth Paltrow and Bernie Ecclestone have been spotted in recent years.
