A tourist has been injured at a Lanzarote holiday hotel after falling from the second floor into a knee-deep fish pond filled with Koi carp and terrapins.

Firefighters and medical staff had to be called to rescue the victim after the bizarre incident at the five-star H10 Rubicon Horizons Collection in the popular resort of Playa Blanca.

The alarm was raised around 11:30pm on Saturday.

The water in the fish pond the man fell into,thought to be two floors below street level by a hotel buffet restaurant,was only about 15 inches deep.

Medical staff had already fitted him with a neck brace by the time firefighters arrived.
