Hiker, 22, injured in fall at Mount Charleston

A 22-year-old hiker called authorities for help after he fell 15 feet in the Mount Charleston area.

Metro Police said the man fell at about 1:05 p.m. Wednesday near Mary Jane Falls.

Police said the hiker was accompanied by two other people who told them they were all inexperienced hikers.

The hiker received bandages to his arm and face to prevent continued bleeding from his injuries, which authorities said weren't serious.
