A woman fell two storeys when she leaned on a glass balustrade which smashed as she was chatting to friends at a central Auckland gathering last night.
The woman, in her 30s, was taken to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition, St John shift supervisor Patsy Carlyle said.
The incident occurred at the Quest apartments on Ponsonby Rd, Ponsonby, about 6.30pm.
A man who attended the gathering of five or so friends said the woman had been outside having a cigarette when she briefly leaned against the glass.
"We just heard the glass completely shatter and we went out and I saw her on the ground and, like, I thought 'this is bad'. We just gapped it down stairs and got to her and she was unresponsive at first but when we touched her she came awake.
