A house painter was hospitalized Monday afternoon after falling about 22 feet from a ladder onto the second-floor balcony of the house he was painting in Ocean Grove, authorities said.
The unidentified painter was working at a house on Central Avenue. At the time of the incident, the house was locked and the homeowner was not on the premises. Neptune emergency management officials said the Neptune Special Operations Team was requested for a high-angle rescue, but the homeowner was contacted, the door was unlocked, and the painter was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center with undisclosed injuries and in an undisclosed condition.
