A young man was seriously injured after plummeting from an apartment building in Fort McMurray, Alta., where another man was recently arrested in the slaying of Anthony Smith, who figures in the Rob Ford crack video scandal.

Just after 6 a.m. Thursday, Alberta RCMP officers arrived at an apartment building in the Prairie city and found an unidentified 28-year-old man who had fallen from a balcony.

The River Park Glen complex on MacDonald Ave. is the same place where, on May 24, authorities arrested the second man to be charged with the first-degree murder of Anthony Smith, 21, on King St. W. in Toronto, sources told the Star.

That 23-year-old accused man is in custody in Toronto awaiting his next court appearance.

Information related to his arrest has been kept secret in Alberta, where a judge sealed a related warrant. Various media outlets, including the Star, are fighting to access the warrant.

Smith appeared in the now infamous photograph with the Toronto mayor that was provided to two Star reporters and an editor at U.S. website Gawker. They were later shown a video in which Ford was apparently smoking crack and making homophobic and racially charged statements.

Ford denies he smokes crack and says the video does not exist.

A source told the Star the Fort McMurray victim was “significantly hurt.”
