Police appeal as suspected flat plunge leaves man injured

Officers carry out door-todoor inquiries to try to piece together events over the weekend

Police are still trying to find out how a man was left lying seriously injured in a Kirkcaldy street after seemingly plunging from a flat.

The 48-year-old is believed to have fallen from the balcony of a second floor flat.

He was discovered in the early hours of Saturday morning and taken to hospital.

The block of flats in Winifred Crescent, in the Sauchenbush area of the town, was cordoned off as police launched an investigation.

Officers were still at the scene yesterday morning carrying out door-todoor inquiries as they attempted to piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident.

They have now issued an appeal to the public for information.

Residents of neighbouring flats were in the dark about what had happened.

One, who did not want to be identified, said: “The first I knew about it was when I saw the police on Monday. They’ve been at the door but they wouldn’t say what it was.”

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Police in Fife are investigating the circumstances surrounding a 48-yearold man being found seriously injured in Winifred Crescent, Kirkcaldy, around 3am on Saturday January 13.

“Anyone who may have information which can help and has not yet spoken to officers is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 0594.”
