A young man who has fallen from the roof of abandoned "Azotara" facility in Novi Sad transported to hospital

In the abandoned complex of the former “Azotara” in Novi Sad, an 18-year-old was seriously injured after falling from the roof of a building.

According to unofficial information, a 16-year-old girl, a Russian citizen, was with him at the time and immediately reacted by calling for help.

The incident reportedly happened last night around 7 p.m. The young man and the girl were on the roof of the building when he allegedly lost his balance after consuming alcohol and fell onto a concrete surface inside the complex.

Despite the shock, the girl remained composed—first trying to help him and move him to a safer spot, then immediately notifying the police. Officers arrived and found both of them at the scene.

The young man sustained serious injuries and was urgently transported to hospital. Police conducted an on-site investigation, and the competent prosecutor’s office was also informed.

Preliminary information suggests there are no elements of a criminal offense, and that the case is being treated as an accident.

The incident once again highlights the dangers of abandoned industrial sites, which continue to attract young people despite the risks.

According to unofficial reports cited by Blic, the teenager fell onto bricks scattered on the ground of the former fertilizer plant.

The prosecutor’s office is working to determine all circumstances of how the accident occurred, while preliminary findings also indicate it was an unfortunate incident.

Emergency service spokesperson Dr. Zoran Krulj told Blic that the teenager was treated on site and transported to the Emergency Center of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina with polytraumatic injuries.
