A teenage girl suffered head injuries after falling from a second storey window yesterday.

Paramedics were called to Sutton Common Road where the 16-year-old girl had fallen from a dormer window on to a flat roof below at 8.05pm.

Firefighters also attended and had to use a specially adapted 'chrysalis' stretcher to get the girl down from the flat roof and into the ambulance.

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the girl was conscious and breathing but was taken to St George's Hospital as a priority.
