The hawker, 57, fell to the ground as liquid trickled down his face. It was his own blood. Just a few feet away from him lay a metal rod.
Disoriented, he propped himself against a pillar at the void deck while his wife called for the ambulance and police. Responding to queries, HDB said workers were preparing for the installation of safety barriers on the rooftop to support upcoming upgrading works under the Home Improvement Programme when the incident occurred.
Mr Woe also underwent surgery where two metal plates were inserted into his right shoulder, which had broken at two places, in the wee hours of March 31.
