A man was injured and hospitalised after being struck by tempered glass that fell from a residential building in southern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Fuzhou in Jiangxi Province on February 19 shows a piece of tempered glass suddenly falling down from a residential building and hitting a man after he got off his scooter.

According to reports, the glass fell from a 14th-floor flat which was being renovated when a man named Hu was about to go to the back of the building to throw away rubbish.

Hu’s face was cut by the shattered glass and had two stitches in hospital.

Hu’s elder sister said the decoration company paid 1,000 yuan (£119.25) to the hospital and the residents in the 14th-floor flat paid 2,000 yuan (£238.5). The expenses are far from enough but the decoration company no longer pays for the medical expenses and compensation.

The police did not file a case after Ms Hu reported it because it was not wounding with intent.

Ms Hu wanted to get 46,000 yuan (£5,485.42) as compensation, but was rejected. The decoration company said that the compensation would only be less than 10,000 yuan (£1.192.48) and asked Hu to go through legal procedures.

近日，江西抚州，胡女士的弟弟前往小区后面扔垃圾，15楼住户正在装修，随后一片钢化玻璃从楼上坠下，导致胡先生脸上头上被碎玻璃溅到划伤，脸上还缝了2针，目前他已经住院8天。27日，胡女士称装修公司来医院给交了1000元，15楼住户交了2000元，这些费用远不够，目前装修公司不再垫付医药费以及赔偿。胡女士称，自己报警后因不属于故意伤人，警方不予立案。想让对方赔偿4.6万，但遭对方拒绝，对方表示只赔偿一万以内，让自己走法律程序。
