A police spokesman said: “A 19-year-old man suffered serious injuries after apparently jumping out of a window in Split. We are still investigating.”
A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth office said: “We can confirm the hospitalisation of a British national in Croatia on 27 July. Consular staff have visited the individual in hospital to provide support.”
