An eyewitness said he had spoken to paramedics who told him the casualty was believed to have hurt his leg and suffered a broken rib.
Emergency services were called about 7.25am, with police, fire and ambulance in attendance.
The male, who was conscious and breathing, was taken by ambulance to the Countess of Chester Hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
