BATU KAWAN: Two Bangladeshi workers were seriously injured after a concrete wall fell on them while doing renovation work in the lobby of a private university in Bandar Cassia here today.
Penang Fire and Rescue Officer Azmi Tahar said one of the victims, Moshak, 42, suffered severe facial injuries and his right palm was crushed, while his co-worker Mannan Abdul, 40, was found to be seriously injured in the legs and abdomen.
“We were alerted to the incident around 5 in the afternoon and, upon arriving at the scene, we found the two men trapped under the rubble. We had to remove the pile of cement before the victims could be brought to safety, ”he said.
The couple have been sent to the hospital for treatment.
A preliminary investigation showed that the two workers were demolishing a wall when it gave way and collapsed on them. Other workers had tried to remove them, but the concrete pieces were too heavy, Azmi added.
