A man hospitalised after he fell from a Beckton bus is now out of his critical condition and police say he will recover from head injuries.

The London Amublance Service were called to East Ham Manor Way yesterday after the man suffered what was said to be “a potentially serious” head injury when he hit the pavement getting off a bus on crutches.

A police spokesman yesterday confirmed he is recovering well in The Royal London Hospital and his injuries are “not life threatening or life changing”.

The incident is being treated as non-suspicious and officers are not investigating.
