A 38-year-old man suffered cuts to his knees and arms after tripping over a broken drain cover on Wednesday (July 29).
Gift shop employee Lin (transliterated) told Shin Min Daily News that the incident occurred at around 8am in front of a parking lot along Arab and Queen Street.
He was walking along the sidewalk when he saw the traffic light turn green and hurried into a jog to make it across the road.
“When I stepped on the drain cover, I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground like Superman,” he told the Chinese newspaper, adding that he observed that the drain cover has two hooks, one of which was broken.
“I have abrasions and bleeding on my left knee and both palms, and a few scrapes on my arm,” said Lin, who later bought ointment at a nearby convenience store.
Lin said that he usually commutes with a bicycle but had left it elsewhere that day and decided to walk instead.
