ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – The Orange County Sheriff’s Office says a man is suffering from paralysis after jumping from a third-floor balcony into a tree.

The Orlando Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1Mfj0U0 ) reports the 20-year-old man attempted the jump early Sunday morning at The Edge apartments.

Deputies say they don’t think it was a suicide attempt, but they released few details.

The man was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center where he was treated for paralysis from the waist down.
