Briton injured in leap from balcony

An injured British woman is recovering in India after leaping from a third-floor hotel window when the establishment's owner apparently tried to force his way into her room.

The tourist told police she requested a 4am wake-up call but the manager who came to her door allegedly offered her a massage and refused to leave.

She fled by jumping from the balcony of the building in the northern city of Agra, close to the Taj Mahal. The hotel owner was later arrested.
