While jogging at a neighbourhood park, a man tripped over the uneven path and fell, scraping his arm and knee and also fracturing his shoulder. The incident occurred on the morning of July 6 at Bukit Purmei Hillock Park, reported Shin Min Daily News. The man surnamed Chen, 61, said that his shoe had gotten caught in the cracks of a path leading to a staircase. He fell on his arms, which he had raised to shield his head. Another jogger passing by helped him up and took him to sit at a park bench nearby, where a dizzy Chen rested for about 15 minutes before slowly making his way home. His left arm was bleeding profusely and gravel had gotten in the wound. Chen's daughter, who is a nurse, helped clean and bandage the scrape before taking him to the A&E department of a hospital. «The examination found that the injuries on my left knee and left elbow were superficial. But after an X-ray, they discovered that I fractured my left shoulder,» he recounted. Read more
