Emergency services rushed to Fort Street in Broughty Ferry after a woman fell from a second-storey window.
Witnesses sitting outside the Fisherman’s Tavern on Friday told how they saw the 21-year-old climb out of the open window of the tenement across the road and attempt to lower herself to the window below.
One woman said: “We were sitting having something to eat.
“We saw the girl climbing out and lowering herself to the first floor window. I ran across and said ‘You’re going to fall.’”
At that point she fell to the ground, reportedly hitting her head.
The witness said: “She was bleeding quite heavily.
“I was trying to keep her on her side to keep her airway clear. She started shouting for a Mark.
“She kind of lost consciousness. She obviously hit her head.”
Another man who witnessed the fall said he had heard there had been a woman earlier in the day in the street who was in tears.
He said: “We saw the young lassie climbing out the window. At first I thought she was trying to clean the window.”
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said they received a call at 3.13pm.
“We attended to a report of a 21-year-old woman who was reported to have fallen out of a top floor window outside the Fisherman’s Tavern,” he said.
The woman was taken to Ninewells Hospital.
Police taped off the area of the pavement where she had fallen. A police spokesman said: “We are still making inquries into a young female who appears to have fallen from an upper floor window in Fort Street.”
He confirmed the woman was suffering from a form of head injury. Scenes of crimes officers attended and photographed the scene.
