PISCATAWAY, N.J. — A 20-year-old male is in critical condition with serious head injuries after an accidental fall in Rutgers Stadium Saturday, said Rutgers University spokesman Jason Baum.

The fall came just prior to halftime during the football game between Rutgers and Syracuse University at the stadium, Baum said. Baum confirmed the man was not affiliated with Rutgers, but could not confirm whether the man was affiliated with Syracuse.

The man fell down the stadium’s south stairwell near the student section of the stadium, Baum said. He was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J., Baum said.

Baum said Rutgers University would not release any more information from the investigation into the injury. Rutgers University police were not immediately available for comment.
