Woman narrowly escapes death as folding table falls from Hong Kong building
A woman narrowly escaped death after a folding table fell from an industrial building in Hong Kong and landed beside her on Monday evening, leaving her with only a minor hand injury.
Police later arrested a man in connection with the incident, which occurred at about 6.15pm on Cheung Shun Street outside Maxim’s Centre in Cheung Sha Wan.
Video circulating online shows the 32-year-old woman walking along the pavement towards the rear of a parked car.
She is about to open the boot and place items inside when a folding table plunges from above, landing beside her about a second later.
The woman and several nearby pedestrians recoil in shock.
She suffered a minor hand injury. Her family called the authorities.
Paramedics took her to Caritas Medical Centre in Sham Shui Po for treatment.
The folding table measured about 1.2 metres long and half a metre wide.
Police later located and arrested a 33-year-old man in the building on suspicion of allowing an object to fall from a building.
