Y01: Assault by pushing from high place
Assault by pushing from high place refers to the group of injuries sustained when an individual is forcibly pushed off an elevated location. Caused by violence, it primarily involves two factors: the forceful push and the subsequent fall. The severity and type of injuries depend on many variables, such as height, type of landing surface, and body position upon impact. Common injuries range from less severe cases like minor abrasions and fractures, to life-threatening conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or internal bleeding. Symptoms heavily depend on the areas affected and may include pain, swelling, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing, or inability to move certain body parts. Without immediate medical attention, these conditions have the potential to escalate, leading to severe complications and sometimes death.
