A three-year-old boy caught his arm in a meat grinder at a kebab shop in the northern Italian town of Lutago, Bolzano.
The Indian child was in the back room of his parents' kebab shop when the accident happened, Il Gazzetino reported.
His father immediately called the White Cross, a rescue association which operates in the German-speaking region of Italy.
Fire services and a physician also rushed to the shop, but were unable to safely remove the child’s arm from the grinder.
He was later flown to a hospital in Innsbruck, Germany, where surgeons at a specialist centre for limbs, treated the child.
Germany on Tuesday placed a second district under lockdown over a coronavirus outbreak at a slaughterhouse, just hours after similar restrictions were imposed for a neighbouring area.
“In order to protect the population, we are now launching a further safety and security package to effectively combat the spread of the virus,” North Rhine-Westphalia health minister Karl-Josef Laumann said Tuesday, ordering a lockdown for the district of Warendorf.
Authorities had earlier announced similar measures in the neighbouring district of Gütersloh after more than 1,500 workers tested positive for Covid-19 at the slaughterhouse.
Almost 280,000 people live in Warendorf. Businesses and cultural facilities will close, while all schools and daycare centres (Kitas) will also shut their doors.
