TEMPE, AZ (KPHO) - A 19-year-old man has been hospitalized with a life-threatening head injury after he fell three stories while "free running" at a Tempe apartment building.
Tempe police said John Martin fell about 3:30 a.m. from the fourth floor at 111 E. Lemon St. in Tempe while engaging in the urban acrobatics.

Another witness said the MCC student was on the railing near the fourth floor stairwell when he slipped, hit his head on the rail, then fell four floors while striking each set of stairs on the way down, ultimately coming to rest on some ground floor planters.
