Man electrocuted in deserted home

A young man without a permanent place of residence was rushed to the hospital with burns that he received when he was electrocuted. Maria Samatailo, coordinating doctor of the Chisinau Ambulance Service, has told Info-Prim Neo that the 22-year-old man was sleeping in different places. Last night, he went to a deserted house near the shop Metro-2 in Chisinau's Botanica district. He touched electrical cables there and was electrocuted. He called an ambulance and was taken to the hospital with hand burns. A 65-year-old man was admitted to the Emergency Hospital with contusions of the left hip and elbow. He wanted to get onto a trolleybus running on route No. 22, but was pressed by the door and fell down on the sidewalk. Yesterday and last night, the Chisinau ambulance teams traveled to 728 addresses, dealing with 53 cases of acute viral infection, 23 cases of pneumonia, 69 cases of trauma, six strokes and three heart attacks.
