CHICAGO (CBS) -- A man was hospitalized Sunday after falling from a rooftop deck in River North.
Police said around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, the 28-year-old man fell from the fifth floor of a building in the 700 block of North Dearborn Street, just off Huron Street, after climbing a ledge on the rooftop and slipping.
