A 74-year-old man was hospitalized following his botched escape from an elderly home in Kwai Chung on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred at about 1.30 pm today as the elderly man climbed out of the window on the second floor of the elderly home located at Shing Hei House in Kwai Shing East Estate. However, he suspectedly lacked the strength to support himself and fell onto an air conditioner on the first floor and got stuck between the exterior wall and the air conditioner. Firefighters soon came to rescue the old man who sustained fractures to his thighs and injured his forehead. He was then sent to Princess Margaret Hospital in a conscious state.
