Man falls from castle window during kiss

A man fell seven metres from a castle window in Germany while kissing his girlfriend at the weekend, police reported Monday.

The couple had climbed onto a window sill in Nideggen Castle, south-west of Cologne, for a tender embrace, but the man lost his balance and fell through the window opening.

The 40-year-old sustained a leg injury in the fall, which occurred after they attended a wedding on Sunday.
