Electrician's arm impaled on fence

Shocking footage has emerged from China of fire fighters rescuing a man who managed to impale his arm on the top of a sharp fence.

The video, filmed in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province last Wednesday, shows an electrician, covered in blood, as firefighters use power tools to try and cut him free.

According to local reports, the electrician tried to climb over the fence because there was no one home at the house he was supposed to be working in.

He was eventually taken to hospital and is now recovering.
