Fan’s fall injury

A FOOTBALL fan is recovering after suffering a fractured skull when he fell 15ft from a railing at a match on Saturday.

The man, in his early 20s, was at Leicester City’s 3-0 victory at Scunthorpe.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: “He was on his own; nobody pushed him; it seems to be an accident.

“The man, who is from Leicester, is believed to have tried to stand on a railing and fell 15ft into an exit way.”

Police have not named the man, who was taken to Scunthorpe General Hospital.

A hospital spokesman said he was in a “comfortable” condition.
