A Filipina domestic helper suffered a severe head injury after she was accidentally hit by a paper cutter while walking in a shopping district in Hong Kong.

The website of the local newspaper  reported that the 55-year-old overseas Filipino worker was heading home from shopping for kitchen utensils at Wan Chai market when a paper cutter measuring 25 centimeters fell down and pounded her head. The cutter’s sharp blade was concealed, and yet the Filipina’s head bled. She was rushed to a clinic.

Police disclosed that the paper cutter fell down from a nearby building that was undergoing renovation. A scaffolding worker who was allegedly responsible for the incident was arrested.  Gianna Francesca Catolico /ra
