Emergency crews rushed to the Delta Hotel on St. Mary Ave. late Saturday after a man fell backwards down an escalator onto a cement floor.

The 27-year-old man was rushed to Health Sciences Centre in critical condition around 11:40 p.m. Saturday night, say officials.

Police say the man was in from out of town to attend a wedding. They say the incident was an accident. No foul play is suspected and they do not consider alcohol to be a factor.
