A woman was rushed to the hospital today after she fell from the seventh-floor departures hall of Hong Kong International Airport.

The woman, a Chinese national, fell from Departure Gate G on the seventh floor to Arrivals Hall B on the ground floor at 12:06pm, Oriental Daily reports. Airport security guards called emergency services, who rushed her to Princess Margaret hospital in an unconscious state.

A witness surnamed Lee told Apple Daily, “There were lots of people in the arrivals hall at the time, but fortunately, nobody was hurt by the falling woman.”

Police officers seized a paper bag containing multiple notes written in Simplified Chinese and a small red suitcase at the scene. According to Apple Daily, shoe prints were found on the security railings at Gate G.

Police were unable to find any identification documents in the woman’s belongings. If anyone knows who she is, or has any information about the case, please call 3661 2083. She is around 40 years old, of medium build, has long black hair, and was wearing a brown long-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and black shoes.
