A man is in a critical condition after falling off the roof of a Palmerston North bar overnight.
The New Zealand Herald understands the man, who is in his early 20s, was earlier denied entry to the Daily sports bar on Main St.
He had then been climbing around the side of the building to find another way to get in when he slipped, a source said.
A police media spokeswoman confirmed the man fell from the roof about 12.50am.
The man was taken to Palmerston North Hospital in a critical condition, but has since been transferred to Wellington Hospital.
A Hutt Valley DHB spokeswoman confirmed the man was in the Intensive Care Unit.
