Bed thrown from building knocks courier off his scooter

This is the terrifying moment a bed board fell from a residential building, hitting and wounding an unlucky courier who was passing by on a scooter.

In the CCTV clip, shot in Xiangtan City in southern Hunan Province on June 19, the courier is knocked from his scooter by the flying single bed board that has apparently been tossed from a nearby residential building.

Another video shows another bed board dropping down vertically and nearly striking another man standing in front of a shop on the ground floor.

People witnessing the incident called the police and the courier was sent to hospital for treatment.

He suffered injuries to his head and collarbone but his life was not in danger, according to reports.

The case was being investigated.
