After being scalded by hot water in Upper Austria, a boy was taken to a hospital in Vienna.
A five-year-old boy was severely scalded by hot water from a sausage cooker on Wednesday in the Grieskirchen district. During a family celebration, the child opened all the drawers of a kitchen cabinet to climb onto it. In doing so, the piece of furniture, along with the water cooker, tipped over, and 25 liters of hot liquid poured onto the child, according to the police on Thursday.
Family Members Suffered Shock
The boy was severely injured on his upper body, arms, and legs and was flown to the Donaustadt Clinic in Vienna by rescue helicopter after initial treatment. The family members suffered a severe shock and were attended to by a crisis intervention team.
