A 64-year-old cyclist fell in a pit almost one and a half meters deep in Berlin and was seriously injured in the process.
A passer-by heard the man at Maselakepark in the Hakenfelde district and then alerted the fire brigade and police, the officials said on Monday.
The cyclist was taken to hospital with severe head injuries.
Berlin - Now it must be determined whether the securing of the excavation pit in the Spandau district was sufficient.
