A teenage boy had to be rescued by a fire crew after falling 30ft into a locked Newcastle courtyard.
According to Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, the unnamed 17-year-old had been trying to climb the wall next to the Dog Leap stairs at the bottom of Dean Street in the city centre. But his early-hours parkour attempts nearly ended in tragedy.
The boy plunged from the stairs into a courtyard next to the UpSide Down souvenir shop. Injured and trapped in the locked area, the lad could have found himself in serious danger.
