Man's Plunge Off PCH Under Investigation

A man, who was reportedly pushed off Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, was flown to a hospital Tuesday, and his plunge was being investigated as a possible assault.

The man, whose condition was not immediately available, fell more than 16 feet, according to CBS Los Angeles.

The fall was reported just after 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 19800 block of PCH in Malibu, said Lt. Robert Wiard of the Lost Hills/Malibu Sheriff's Station.

"We’re still trying to gather the facts if it as an assault or an accident," Wiard said. "We’re getting conflicting stories."

Wiard said no suspect was in custody and an investigation was ongoing.
