A crew member working on sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle has been rushed to hospital following a dramatic 15ft fall.

The Birmingham Mail reports the individual was admitted with a fractured ankle and leg wounds, after an incident occurred during the filming of a car chase sequence in Birmingham city centre around 8pm on Sunday, 15 May.

Though exact circumstances are unclear, West Midlands Fire Service said the crew member fell 15ft onto an "outdoor lower basement level" of Council House, the home of the Birmingham City Council, in Victoria Square.

An ambulance service spokesman stated, "Crews arrived to find a man who fallen approximately 15ft through a building. He was treated for a fractured ankle and leg injuries before being rescued from the building and carefully moved to the awaiting ambulance. He was then transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for further treatment."

None of the stars are thought to have been present for the Birmingham scenes, which have been billed as a "second unit" shoot for actions shots, including gunfire.

The sequel is set to see Taron Egerton’s Eggsy head state-side with Mark Strong’s Merlin to work for secret US spy society Statesmen; where the duo will be tasked with defeating the villainous Poppy, played by Julianne Moore. Halle Berry joins the cast as Statesmen leader Ginger and as for Colin Firth, it has finally been all-but-confirmed that he will return as suave agent Harry Hart.

Elton John is reportedly in talks to make an appearance, possibly playing himself, while Channing Tatum has confirmed himself for a mystery supporting role.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is set to reach UK cinemas on 16 June 2017.
