New Delhi: A 61-year-old butcher in Hong Kong who was trying to slaughter a pig, ended up getting slaughtered himself, the city’s police said as per CNN. The incident took place on Friday at around 1 pm (local time). The butcher worked in the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse on the city’s northern outskirts close to its border with mainland China.

According to the police, the man was knocked to the ground by a struggling pig and sustained a wound from a 15-inch meat cleaver. The cops told CNN that the butcher had been about to kill the pig, which he had already shot with an electric gun – when it regained consciousness and knocked him over.
