A tragic incident occurred at Piazza di Spagna in Rome on Wednesday morning.

A 55-year-old Spanish tourist fell from the balustrade of the iconic Spanish Steps, landing near the terrace of a historic tea room.

The fall, from several meters high, prompted a passerby to alert authorities.

Emergency responders quickly arrived, and the injured woman was transported to Policlinico Umberto I hospital.

Police are investigating the circumstances, with early findings suggesting the possibility of a suicide attempt.
