Help called by bike

Pensioner cuts his arm with a chainsaw

Although a pensioner (75) seriously injured himself with a chainsaw in Fehring on Sunday, he rode his bike to his house to get help.

Late on Saturday morning, a 75-year-old man was carrying out forestry work with a chainsaw. He suddenly fell off and cut his forearm with the device. Although he was seriously injured, he got on his bike, rode back to his house and informed relatives, who set the rescue chain in motion. He was eventually taken to Feldbach Regional Hospital.
