The alarming event unfolded on July 12, 2026, along a row of commercial buildings on Thep Anusorn Road in the Wichit subdistrict of Mueang district. Witnesses observed the man climbing onto the second-floor roof balcony, where he walked around before eventually lying down on the canopy roof.

Rescue personnel promptly arrived at the scene, administered critical first aid to the injured man, and transported him to a local hospital for advanced medical treatment. Authorities have not yet released information regarding the man’s identity, nationality, or his current medical condition.

Local police have launched a comprehensive investigation to determine the exact circumstances and sequence of events leading up to the fall. Officers are currently interviewing witnesses and reviewing closed-circuit television footage from the surrounding area to piece together a complete timeline of the incident and assess the extent of the public danger caused by the falling objects.
