Is that a cleaver in your pants or are you just…

An armed thief pierced an artery in his thigh with his own weapon during a robbery in Hong Kong on Monday, later dying of major blood loss.

Pretending to be an express courier, the 24-year-old man surnamed Lam was permitted entry in an electronic parts trading company on the 16th floor of an industrial building about 5 pm. He tried to attack the receptionist with a stun gun but she fought back.

The stun gun dropped to the ground in the scuffle. When Lam bent to pick it up, a sharp cleaver he hid in his trousers pierced the artery.

Lam tried to flee along the staircase but collapsed in a pool of blood when he reached the 13th floor.

    Should have known better, 13th floor is bad luck. At least he didn’t make it to the 4th floor, or he could have died
