Two men were injured yesterday evening after jumping three storeys off the Riviera Martinique cliff at Gnejna Bay, Mgarr, inside a zorb ball, landing on rocks below.

The incident happened at 5.45pm.

Police dispatched on site to assist the men, but as the area was inaccessible, an Armed Forces of Malta helicopter was called to air-lift the men.

One of the victims, a 31-year-old Swieqi resident, was taken to Mater Dei Hospital to receive treatment for his serious injuries.

The other man, aged 28 and also from Swieqi, was given medical attention for slight injuries.
