QUEENS — A man was injured after falling from scaffolding at a warehouse in Hillside, officials said.

The man, who is in his 50s, but was not immediately identified, suffered head and neck injuries when he fell from scaffolding at a loading dock at 183-16 Jamaica Ave. at 11:30 a.m., fire officials said.

It was unclear how many feet he fell. Paramedics were still working on him at the scene about 30 minutes after the apparent accident, fire officials said.
