A BRIT is fighting for life after falling and getting impaled on a metal fence on a popular Greek island.
He fell and got nailed to railings while walking on Zante, also known as Zakynthos.
He is believed to be around 50 years old but his identity remains unclear.
The horror incident is said to have occurred shortly after 11pm on Monday night at a hotel in the Agrilia area, Greek media reports.
Fire brigades rushed to the scene as well as multiple men, who cut the bars of the fence with help of a doctor, reports said.
A spike was said to be just millimetres away from one of his carotid arteries, which deliver blood to the brain and head.
Part of a bar reportedly remained nailed to his neck when he was taken to hospital, where he has since remained intubated.
Greek authorities are now probing the incident and attempting to uncover more details about the injured holidaymaker.
It comes just two days after another Brit was fighting for life after attempting a 10ft jump from his hotel balcony to a swimming pool in Cyprus.
The 56-year-old tried to jump off the ledge into the pool at his villa but ended up hitting the pavement below before being rushed to hospital in a serious condition.
The Brit was staying in Pegeia, near Paphos on the Mediterranean island when he slipped while attempting the dangerous leap.
He was rushed to the Accident and Emergency Department of Pafos General Hospital in an ambulance shortly after the accident.
Doctors then sent him to the Intensive Care Unit due to the seriousness of his injuries.
The man was staying in the villa with friends at the time of the horror fall, Cypriot media reported.
Another British tourist, 23, died in Zakynthos in July after falling head-first while trying to climb off a hotel balcony.
