(CNA Reporter Chang Jung-hsiang, Tainan, 16th) Decorative indoor tiles fell at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Tainan Place yesterday, slightly injuring a woman who was struck. The victim later posted about the incident on social media. Shin Kong Mitsukoshi stated today that they had assisted with wound care at the time and would make follow-up calls to check on her.
The woman posted on the social platform Threads that while chatting at the entrance of "Da Guo Tou" inside Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Tainan Place yesterday afternoon, she suddenly felt a shock on her hand, and her drink instantly sprayed all over the floor. Looking down, she realized decorative tiles from the wall had fallen, directly hitting her hand and thigh, resulting in bruises and minor cuts. She noted that the consequences would have been unimaginable if they had hit her head or if a child had been passing by.
The woman stated that although the department store took her to the infirmary to apply medicine, when she received a follow-up call in the evening and they heard her wounds were currently okay, they immediately asked to "close the case." She felt the handling was a bit too hasty.
The Tainan City Police Department's Second Precinct said they had not received any reports related to the incident at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Tainan Place.
