Drunk man drank blood at Hong Kong Hospital

A Hong Kong man who knocked back two vials of blood after a drinking binge has been jailed for two months.

Li Man-yiu, 29, told a court on Monday that he was 'extremely thirsty' when he staggered into a hospital on Sept 13 for treatment for an injured toe. The surveillance cameras showed Li 'walk up to the laboratory counter, take three tubes containing blood samples, drink the contents of two and then dump the vials in the lift lobby.

When he realised that the vials had contained blood, Li rushed into a toilet to throw up.

The court accepted that he had drunk the blood under the influence of alcohol, but jailed him after he pleaded guilty to theft.
