Dodgers fan falls off roof

A man is fighting for his life at the hospital after witnesses say he fell off the roof during the Dodgers World Series celebration.

The Brief

    • Man falls off roof during the Dodgers World Series parade.
    • The man survived the fall, but is in critical condition, family members told FOX 11 as recently as Nov. 4.
    • The man is accused of tagging a building before the fall.

LOS ANGELES - A man is fighting for his life at the hospital after falling off the third floor of a building during the Dodgers celebration Friday in downtown Los Angeles.

The incident happened at 8th and Flower streets around 1:30 p.m. as the World Series parade and celebration concluded. 

Images from SkyFOX showed dozens of people surrounding the man as he laid on the ground. Several people also quickly jumped in to help. Paramedics arrived and took the man to the hospital. 

On November 4, a family member reached out to FOX 11 saying the man is in critical condition.

Pricialla Flaherty saw the man after he fell. That's when she said she noticed a young boy shouting.

"Everybody started screaming, and then I heard the son screaming ‘That’s my dad, don't get near him,'" Flaherty said.

The LAPD told FOX 11 that the man was "engaged in graffiti related activity." Flaherty said the son told her his dad went up to tag something when he fell.

Tens of thousands of Dodger fans gathered in LA Friday morning to watch the parade and celebrate the team's eighth title. The massive crowd made it difficult for paramedics to respond to the area.

The man and his son were both taken to the hospital, where the man remains in unknown condition.
