'Miracle' moment man opens eyes for first time after falling off four-storey roof

A young man who is fighting for his life after falling from a four-storey building has opened his eyes for the first time, his family says.

Subhan - known as 'Subby' - from Dewsbury, in West Yorkshire, had travelled to Pakistan for a wedding when he toppled off a roof during a fireworks display.

Auntie Tahmina Inam said he suffered brain damage and internal bleeding in the horrific accident, and to make matters worse has no travel insurance.

On Friday, however, she announced a "miracle" had occurred as her nephew had opened his eyes, reports YorkshireLive.

"Last night, Subhan opened his eyes for the first time since his fall, gave us a little smile and even stuck his tongue out when asked to do so. This is truly amazing," he said.

Tahmina has raised more than £21,000 of a £25,000 target on GoFundMe to help cover medical bills.

She explained: "He fell off the roof of his house in Pakistan and he’s damaged his brain and has internal bleeding.

"He’s currently on life support, and those of you who have been abroad and received medical treatment in Alshafa Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan (which is very expensive hospital)...will know that it’s not covered by the NHS like it is here in the UK and it comes at a great cost.

"The estimate for his treatment and care is around 15k-20k (not a fixed amount due to ongoing treatment) depending on his treatment and duration of stay in hospital.

"I am setting up this GoFundMe to help towards raising funds to pay towards his medical bills.

"He’s currently on a life support machine and is in desperate need of all the support he can get financially and emotionally. So please donate generously and remember our little Subby in your prayers please!"

Days later she added an update, informing donators Subhan has opened his eyes.

"Every day we are seeing more signs of improvement. I am a firm believer in the power of dua, plz keep praying for him and let’s bring him back home," she said.

Tahmina confirmed the target figure had changed as Subhan's medical bills keep increasing.
