A student has been hospitalised after suffering a severe head injury from falling from the balcony at Rock City in Nottingham. 

The incident occurred during the Crisis club night at the legendary Notts venue on 9 October, reports the Nottingham Post

Police say that the incident is not being treated as suspicious, while officials confirmed that he was rushed to the nearby Queen's Medical Centre for emergency treatment. 

"We would like to apologise to our customers this evening that we unfortunately needed to close the main room due to a customer falling from the balcony," said Rock City in a statement.

"Given the serious nature of the incident it was entirely necessary.  Having reviewed the CCTV footage it appears the individual involved fell by their own accord.

They added: "We would like to thank our customers who were respectful of all our staff, venue staff, police and ambulance crew. When asked to move back away from the area you pretty much all responded orderly and sensibly and we are grateful for that."
