A stuntman on the film Fast & Furious 9 has been seriously injured after an on-set fall at Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire.
Production on the latest instalment of the long-running franchise has been put on hold following the incident.
Police and paramedics were called to the studios in Leavesden just before midday on Monday.
An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman said the man suffered a “serious head injury”.
He was taken to hospital in an air ambulance.
A spokeswoman for Universal said: "We had an injury on the set of Fast 9 today in Leavesden with one of our stuntmen.
"We have halted production for the day to focus on this situation."
The film stars franchise regulars Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, and is due for release in 2020.
It comes after a fire broke out at Warner Bros Studios, where the Harry Potter and James Bond franchises have been filmed, earlier this month. No one was injured in the blaze, which took several hours to put out.
A spokeswoman for Hertfordshire Police said: "Police were called shortly before noon today following an incident at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.
"It was reported that a man had been injured while working at the location and sustained serious injuries.
"The air ambulance attended and police officers are currently on scene to assist and carry out initial enquiries."
