The 25-year-old foreigner was injured and was transported from the slope on a stretcher.

The severity of his injury has not been known.

According to information, under circumstances that are being investigated, and while strong winds were blowing in the area, the man fell into the void from the edge of the courtyard of Agios Georgios, where a marble slab is placed.

According to eyewitnesses, he first fell onto the rocks below and then onto the paved road - where the steps pass. People who were at the scene called 112 and an EKAB rapid response motorcycle arrived in the area first, along with Fire Department forces.

At the same time, police officers briefly interrupted access to the church, while municipal police officers closed the road from the theater. Firefighters, with rescue equipment and the assistance of EKAB, approached the injured man and removed him from the scene.

To prevent him from suffering further, they used the cable car to deliver him to an EKAB ambulance. Police officers received testimonies from eyewitnesses and among the scenarios being examined is whether he was swept away by the air at the time the photo was taken.
