New York - A stunt actor who fell nine metres while playing Spider-Man on Broadway is scheduled to leave a rehabilitation centre within days.
Christopher Tierney suffered a skull fracture and cracked vertebrae in the December 20 fall at Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark despite having a safety harness. He underwent back surgery.
Show spokesperson Rick Miramontez said on Saturday that Tierney will be released from a rehabilitation facility on Wednesday.
Tierney's family has said he'll be continuing treatment in New York. Tierney has relatives in New Hampshire.
The $65m show is the most expensive ever on Broadway. It cancelled two preview performances after the stunt actor's fall. It reopened with new safety and security measures.
It's scheduled to open officially on February 7.
