A man is lucky to be alive after he fell from a third floor window in Owen Sound.

Owen Sound police and EMS were called to the 1300 block of 4th Avenue East, regarding a male who had fallen from a window.

Police say a man was drinking while visiting with an acquaintance, who lived in the attic apartment.

Due to his intoxicated behaviour, the man became unwelcome and the tenant left to call police from a nearby payphone.

During that time he reportedly fell from the attic to the ground below.

The 62-year-old-man was transported to hospital with undetermined, non-life threatening injuries.
