A male mas­quer­ad­er re­ceived emer­gency med­ical at­ten­tion af­ter falling off the stage at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah, as Car­ni­val Mon­day’s Pa­rade of the Bands got un­der­way, to­day.

Re­ports are that the in­ci­dent oc­curred at about 12:40 pm.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that just af­ter the last sec­tion of the first band to cross the stage—Harts—had passed, it was ob­served that one of the mas­quer­aders had fall­en off the stage.

It is not clear whether the per­son faint­ed or fell.

The ex­tent of the per­son’s in­juries are yet to be con­firmed, how­ev­er, they did not ap­pear to be life-threat­en­ing.

Car­ni­val pro­ceed­ings at the Sa­van­nah were halt­ed tem­porar­i­ly as a re­sult of the in­ci­dent.

They re­sumed af­ter the man was tak­en away by am­bu­lance for fur­ther treat­ment.
