At 8 o'clock last night, a shoemaker who lived on Huang Xing Road National Road lost his hand in the process of repairing shoes, and accidentally plunged his sharp shoes into his thumb.

Accompanied by fellow townsman, the shoemaker was admitted to hospital in time.

The shoemaker surnamed Yang is 36 years old. He has been making shoes for 10 years and has come to Shanghai from his hometown in Anhui to make a living.

Yesterday, there was a pair of shoes in the shop. It was somewhat difficult to repair.

Unexpectedly, when used, the shoe drill suddenly slipped and stuck to his left hand, inclined into the thumb about two centimeters deep.

Master Yang accompanied him to Changhai Hospital.

After taking the anesthetic, the doctor took out the shoe drill in the fingers of master Yang.

After having tetanus, Yang has returned home to recuperate.
