On Friday August 24, 2018, at approximately 2:59 PM, the Montpelier Police Department received a report that person had just jumped or fallen from the Hubbard Park Tower (a 52’ high stone observation tower located in Hubbard Park) in Montpelier, VT. Upon arrival, MPD officers approached the victim who was found sitting-upright with his legs crossed, with signs of injuries.

The twenty year old male patient was transported by the MFD to the Central Vermont Medical Center.
