Sydney man impaled on fence after falling from roof

A Sydney man has been impaled on a fence after falling from a roof.

The man – aged in his late 60s – plummeted three metres before the fence penetrated his right leg in Alexandria just before 9.15am today.

Three paramedic teams were on the scene within ten minutes and gave first aid as the fence was cut to remove him, a NSW Ambulance spokesperson told nine.com.au.

He has been taken to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a stable condition. 

NSW Police said the fall is not being treated as suspicious.
