Los Angeles police Sergeant Mark Cohan said Barker, 91, was
taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment
after the fall on Tuesday morning.
Entertainment Tonight quoted a representative for Barker as
saying Barker was "resting at home and doing OK" after the fall.
Barker, who hosted "The Price Is Right" from 1972 to 2007 and
also is known for this work as an animal rights activist, was on
his daily walk near his home when he tripped and fell on the
sidewalk and received stitches at the hospital for cuts to his
head, according to media reports.
Two Los Angeles police officers were on their way back from
another call when they saw Barker trip and fall and got out of
their vehicle to help him, Cohan said.
"I think the officers were at the right place at the right time.
They did a fantastic job," Cohan said.
