A MAN has been rushed to hospital after plunging from a roof on a Scottish high street last night.
Police locked down the scene as emergency crews raced to King Street in Kilmarnock.
The alarm was raised at around 9.15pm after officers received reports of a person having fallen from a roof.
When cops arrived, a 49-year-old man was found injured after the horror fall.
He was rushed to hospital in an ambulance for treatment of his injuries.
Photos from the scene last night show police, ambulances and fire crews all scrambled to the area.
Over a dozen vehicles were spotted at a carpark on nearby Sturrock Street as they focused their efforts on a roof above shops on King Street.
Specialist teams were spotted using ladders and other equipment as they tried to access the roof.
Emergency service crews wearing helmets were seen carrying what looked to be climbing equipment as a number of vehicles swarmed the area.
Three Scottish Ambulance Service cars were parked at the scene alongside six police motors and five fire engines.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service also deployed a height vehicle which had a hydraulic ladder and platform to the scene.
They were based between M&S and the former BHS building as other crews focused their attention on a space above Tui shop, Card Factory, O2 branch and former Citizens Advice unit.
A medic carrying a stretcher was also spotted climbing onto the roof.
Crews remained at the scene for almost four hours as they dealt with the incident.
They eventually left the area at around 00.37am this morning.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9.15pm on Saturday, 28 September, 2024, officers received a report of a man having been injured after falling from a roof on King Street, Kilmarnock.
“The 49-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment.
