A tourist has been injured at a Lanzarote holiday hotel after falling from the second floor right into a knee-deep fish pond crammed with Koi carp and terrapins.<\/p>\n

Firefighters and medical staff needed to be called to rescue the victim after the bizarre incident on the five-star H10 Rubicon Horizons Collection in the favored resort of Playa Blanca.<\/p>\n

The alarm was raised around 11:30pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The water within the fish pond the person fell into, considered two floors below street level by a hotel buffet restaurant, was only about 15 inches deep.<\/p>\n

Medical staff had already fitted him with a neck brace by the point firefighters arrived.<\/p>\n

They lifted him out on a rescue board that they had strapped him onto before taking him to a waiting ambulance.<\/p>\n

He was then evacuated to Molina Orosa Hospital within the Lanzarote capital Arrecife.<\/p>\n

The tourist\u2019s nationality and age has yet to be released.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear this morning what his current condition is and the way he managed to fall and find yourself where he did.<\/p>\n

Local police and Civil Guard officers were also mobilised by a regional government emergency response coordination centre but couldn’t be reached today for comment.<\/p>\n

The hotel where the incident occurred, which recently modified its name from the H10 Rubicon Palace, said it will not be saying anything due to \u2018client confidentiality.\u2019<\/p>\n

The seafront adults-only establishment bills itself online as an iconic five star resort with an interior design inspired by the island of Lanzarote.<\/p>\n

Playa Blanca is Lanzarote\u2019s southernmost town and is extremely popular with British tourists.<\/p>\n
