(AP) STATE COLLEGE A Penn State student was critically injured when he fell about five stories while trying to climb down a makeshift rope as police were busting an underage drinking party in a campus dormitory Friday night, authorities said.

Ryan P. Walton, 19, of Harleysville, was flown to Altoona Hospital's trauma center, where he was listed in critical condition Saturday.

Police said Walton had tied a bedspread and sheet together and tried to climb down from a sixth-story window while university police officers were questioning partygoers in another room about noise from the party.

Walton did not make it past the fifth floor before falling about 55 feet, landing on a combination of grass, dirt and gravel and sustaining significant internal injuries, according to the university.

"Our main concern is the student's health and well-being," said Penn State spokesman Bill Mahon. "We hope he does well and recovers."

Officers found large quantities of alcohol and more than two dozen people in the housing area, the university said in a release.
