The man was seen to move slightly as rescuers checked for injuries

A male Filipino domestic worker who police say was drunk, was rushed to Queen Mary Hospital on Sunday, Nov. 14 after being hit by a bus along busy Des Voeux Road Central.

He reportedly sustained abrasions on his mouth and nose, and some of his teeth were loosened, but he did not appear to have suffered any major injuries.

The incident was reported to the police at 5:20pm, just seven minutes before they were called to attend to a drunk Filipina domestic worker who fell head first on the pavement in nearby Exchange Square. The Filipina later said she got dizzy because she was anemic.

A police spokesman said investigations showed the 35-year-old Filipino man had run onto the busy street from the westbound lane, and was struck by a bus as it approached the junction with Chiu Lung Street, a small alley near World-Wide House.

Unconfirmed reports from several Filipinos who could be heard talking over some videos of the incident which were posted live on Facebook said the man had been drinking with friends, apparently from one of the alleys on the other side of the road.

One Filipina in the crowd could be heard saying she was among those who had been drinking with the man.

Another said the man had bumped into her before dashing across the road. She then heard a loud thud and the next thing she knew, the man was already sprawled on the street.

The videos showed the man was conscious and had moved while medics were preparing to put him in an ambulance. At one point, kibitzers said he vomited blood.
