Flying Finns

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two tumble from Töölö balcony One man died and another was seriously injured on Wednesday morning when they fell from a fifth-floor balcony in the Töölö district of Helsinki.

Police had arrived early in the morning after complaints about noise coming from the flat. Inside were a man and a woman, but two men—who were wanted by police in connection with other crimes—had tried to escape via the balcony.

Their attempt to descend one floor was unsuccessful, and they fell into the courtyard of the building. Police were unaware of the wanted pair’s presence in the flat when they attended the scene, but several witnesses saw the duo fall to the ground.

The incident will be investigated at a post-mortem. Police do not suspect any crimes were committed during the incident.

Thanks, Samuli, but we have lots of stories in our archives of people trying to climb up/down buildings by scaling balconies, exterior pipes/cables, etc.
