A 54-year-old worker was injured after an object fell from height during demolition work at Lai Yee Building, 38C Bonham Road, in the Mid-Levels at about 5pm on August 16, according to Star Headline. The man, surnamed Chiu, was struck on the shoulder.
He was conscious when taken to Queen Mary Hospital for treatment. No further information about his condition after arriving at the hospital was provided.
Police attended after receiving a report and classified the case as an industrial accident involving an accidental injury. They were investigating the incident.
The falling object was reported as about 2 metres long and 30cm in diameter. The report used inconsistent descriptions, referring to it as an iron rod and an aluminium frame, so its material and exact type have not been confirmed.
The supplied report did not establish the cause of the fall or whether anyone was responsible. Police were investigating the incident.
