A Hong Kong man is fighting for his life in hospital after jumping from his first-floor flat following a gas explosion that ripped through his home and blew out a window frame.
Police said the man, 42, plunged to the ground after the blast around 6.40pm on Monday at an ageing residential building at 43 Pak Tai Street in To Kwa Wan.
He remained conscious and was sent to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, where he was listed as being in a critical condition on Monday night.
