Tapfheim (dpa / lby) – A man broke his head through the glass pane of a burning furnace in Swabia and was seriously injured. The 61-year-old fell while trying to stoke the fire in the wood stove in his property in Tapfheim (Donau-Ries district), the police said on Thursday. In the fall on Wednesday, he suffered a heavily bleeding wound on his neck and neck.
He did not want to be treated in the hospital despite the severe blood loss. Since there was no acute danger to life, the 61-year-old was allowed to stay at home. Despite the fire in the oven, the man did not suffer any major burn injuries, said a police spokesman. The police ruled out third-party negligence in the accident.
