Two men, between 25 and 30 years old and from Eastern Europe, were seriously injured tonight after falling to the ground from a fifth floor on Rafael Finat street in the Madrid district of Latina, according to Emergencies Madrid.

The two injured had entered the apartment to steal and

tried to escape through the facade by hanging down some horizontal slats

that cover the outside of the building, according to the first police inquiries.

In the fall they have lost several jewels that they had allegedly stolen from the house and that were lying on the sidewalk.

Around 9:45 p.m., SAMUR-Civil Protection was alerted that two men had fallen from a considerable height and fallen onto the public highway.

Firefighters from the Madrid City Council and the SAMUR-Civil Protection have immediately moved to the place, which have stabilized both individuals who suffered multiple injuries and fractures.

Thus, one has been transferred to the Clinic and the other to the October 12 Hospital with a serious prognosis and guarded by the National Police.

The question that everyone present asked was

how they had been able to save their lives by falling from such a high place.

The Firefighters in collaboration with SAMUR-Civil Protection are checking the facade of the building through which they have fallen and have removed the slats from it that had come off.

As the emergency services have verified, the two alleged thieves have tried to go down the slats until

several of them have given

way and both have rushed to the street sidewalk from about 15 meters high.

The door of the fifth floor from which they have left the facade was forced by what is suspected that the thieves had entered to rob that house and that

realizing that someone had broken into the home they have escaped to the outside

with the intention of descend through the slats that cover an entire vertical line of the exterior of the building.
