Narrative

EE WAS USING A UTILITY KNIFE TO CUT PLASTIC STRAPS OFF A PALLET OF EMPTY PAILS. HE WAS HOLDING THE KNIFE WITH THE BLADE UP, CUTTING TOWARDS HIS BODY INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM IT. HE APPLIED ENOUGH PRESSURE TO THE KNIFE THAT WHEN IT CUT THROUGH THE STRAP, THE MOTION HE USED CARRIED HIS HAND TOWARDS HIS FACE, CUTTING HIS CHEEK.
