SAN ANTONIO -- A 33-year-old man was hospitalized Tuesday morning after police said he fell five stories from a downtown apartment building and was impaled by an iron fence.

Police said Julian Mattes fell out of a window at the Maverick Apartments at around 1 a.m. and crashed onto the fence. Two of the posts speared the front and back of his neck, police said.

Richard Moore was just getting off work at a downtown restaurant when he saw the fall.

"I hear this loud thud. I look up and the whole plate glass window was pushed out, came flying down to the patio here," he said.

Just seconds later, he saw Mattes fall.

I wonder if he's still alive
