A man has been described as 'seriously injured' after a shop's metal shutter came crashing down on him in Newcastle city centre.
Emergency services were called after the heavy rolled-up shutters at Pop Up Wok, on Newcastle's Saville Row, came crashing down, landing on top of him.
A cordon was soon put up around the area and the man was rushed to Newcastle's RVI. A passer-by described how a man was seen 'hanging on it' before it collapsed.
