A man was injured in Danbury when he fell off a bridge trestle into heavy brush on a riverbank. A Danbury Police Officer heard a call for help in the area of the police station shortly before 9 o'clock last night and found the man, who sustained injuries after falling about 12 feet down from the wall in a thicket of poison ivy and other vegetation. Firefighters, using their technical rescue techniques, cleared some brush, then secured the victim into a basket stretcher and hoisted him by ropes back up to the street level. EMS transported the man to the hospital for treatment.
