A man was critically injured after he fell from a bridge and onto TTC tracks near Rosedale Station on Tuesday afternoon.

Toronto police were called to the Roxborough Street East and Yonge Street area just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday for reports of an industrial accident.

Authorities initially said a male construction worker fell from a bridge but later issued a correction, saying the man was not employed by a construction company.

The victim was rushed to a local trauma centre with life-threatening injuries.

The Ministry of Labour will not be notified, police confirmed, and the incident is not being investigated as a criminal case.
