A window cleaner has been seriously injured after he fell from a height of several floors up onto a car.
The 31-year-old man fell from the sixth floor from an apartment building on the rue du Lac in Eaux-Vives yesterday afternoon.
The alarm was raised by staff in a nearby restaurant after they heard a call for help.
The parked car he hit was seriously damaged, say the police.
An investigation is underway – including by inspectors from the construction site inspectorate.
