Overview

• A male tourist estimated to be between 25 and 30 fell from the Agios Georgios church courtyard while posing for a selfie as strong gusts hit the summit of Mount Lycabettus.
• Eyewitnesses reported staying with the injured man on rocks and stone steps below the church and immediately calling EKAB for medical assistance.
• Police, firefighters and ambulance crews arrived Tuesday morning to secure the site and discovered the man was conscious before transferring him to an awaiting ambulance.
• Hospital officials at Gennimatas later confirmed that the patient remained in stable condition and showed no critical injuries following the fall.
