Man charged over Brisbane balcony fall

A man has been charged with attempted murder after another man fell 30m from the fifth floor balcony of a Brisbane building.

28-year-old Phillip Koklas remains in critical condition following the fall, which happened on Upper Roma St, in the CBD, on Sunday morning.

Police arrested a 36-year-old man yesterday afternoon, and have since charged him with attempted murder, kidnapping, and grievous bodily harm, two counts of burglary and four counts of deprivation of liberty.

He is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.

Mr Koklas suffered a fractured skull and swelling on the brain in the incident.

Doctors say he will need most of his face reconstructed should he survive his injuries.
